Summary of the contracting process

The University of Salford procured a renewal of Rubrik NAS CD & CV, covering software packages and information systems. The requirement is for the University as the buying organisation, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement relates to a single requirement under the NWUPC SLRA Lot 4 framework. In practical terms, relevant suppliers are those providing Rubrik-related software, data protection or information-system products and associated renewal support for a university environment. The named requirement is specifically a Rubrik renewal rather than a broad, new technology implementation, so businesses should assess their ability to supply the stated Rubrik products and support the University’s existing arrangements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award without competition, using the NWUPC SLRA Lot 4 framework and a below-threshold procedure. The award date was 24 July 2026. SOFTCAT PLC was selected for the single lot, with an awarded gross value of £53,434.98 including taxes. The award is for goods and is classified under CPV 48000000, software package and information systems. The awarded contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The University evaluated the requirement through the framework’s direct-award route rather than an open competition. The award is active, while the tender itself is recorded as complete.

This procurement shows established demand at the University of Salford for Rubrik NAS CD & CV software renewal, at a scale suitable for a specialist software reseller or technology supplier with the capacity to support a university customer. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable access to the relevant Rubrik products, experience handling software renewals, and the operational capability to maintain continuity for an existing data-protection or information-systems environment. Familiarity with public-sector purchasing and the NWUPC SLRA framework would be commercially important, because this requirement was fulfilled through a framework direct award rather than an open competition. Suppliers should therefore focus on Rubrik supply, renewal management and framework-based public-sector delivery, rather than unrelated IT services.
