UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Braintree District Council procured disaster recovery IT services to support its information technology resilience and recovery needs. The requirement is for specialist disaster recovery services, classified under CPV 72251000. Delivery covers England, with activity spanning the English regions represented in the procurement. The council is the public-sector buyer and the requirement is a service rather than goods or construction. The selected provider is a large commercial technology services business, indicating that the work is suited to organisations able to deliver managed IT disaster recovery at public-sector scale. Suppliers with relevant disaster recovery service capability and the operational reach to support a council across England would find this requirement commercially relevant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed, with Wavenet Limited selected as supplier. The award is active and the contract was signed on 20 July 2026. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £29,375.52 excluding VAT, or £35,250.62 including VAT. The procurement used a limited procedure, with competition restricted below the applicable threshold. The published outcome identifies disaster recovery services as the awarded requirement. The contract is active and covers delivery across England. No separate evaluation weighting or detailed award criteria are recorded in the procurement outcome.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Braintree District Council for outsourced disaster recovery IT services, delivered across a broad English footprint and procured through a below-threshold limited competition. A future competitor would need a credible disaster recovery service offering, the operational capacity to support public-sector systems across multiple locations, and the ability to compete through a restricted process rather than relying on an open tender. Wavenet Limited’s selection shows that a large technology services provider was considered suitable for the requirement. Smaller specialists may therefore need to demonstrate dependable service delivery, resilience, scalable support arrangements and relevant public-sector experience to be credible when this buyer next tests the market for comparable disaster recovery provision.
