Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority procured IT system and support services to help South Yorkshire Police upgrade devices to Windows 11. The work involves deployment engineers supporting and working alongside the Force’s internal teams throughout the upgrade programme. The requirement covers Windows 11 deployment support rather than software licensing, hardware supply or a standalone outsourced service. It is relevant to IT services providers with practical experience of operating-system upgrades, device deployment and technical support delivered in partnership with an established public-sector or enterprise technology team. The buyer is based in Sheffield, and the supplier is also based in Sheffield. The procurement was for services associated with system and support activities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited procedure, specifically a direct award under PCR2015 from a framework to the top-ranked supplier, without prior publication of a call for competition. The requirement was evaluated on price. Insight Direct (UK) Limited was awarded the contract, with an awarded contract value of £87,274.80 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and is active. One bid was recorded. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, although the award and contract linked to it are active. The available outcome therefore identifies Insight Direct as the selected supplier for the Windows 11 deployment support requirement.

This procurement indicates demand from the South Yorkshire public-sector and policing environment for engineers who can deliver Windows 11 device upgrades while integrating with internal technical teams. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need proven capability in operating-system deployment, device migration, system support and hands-on troubleshooting across an organisation’s estate. The delivery model favours suppliers able to provide engineers who can collaborate closely with in-house staff rather than simply supply products or offer remote advice. Experience of public-sector or policing technology environments, structured deployment planning, and the capacity to support a sizeable device-upgrade programme would strengthen a supplier’s position. The route used here also shows the buyer has used a framework-based direct award to a top-ranked supplier.
