Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent bought a SolarWinds subscription and associated Loop1 renewal services. The requirement combines an observability solution for integrating data from across the IT ecosystem with renewal of training to help users operate the SolarWinds solution. This is a software and information-systems requirement, covering both the technology subscription and user enablement. The purchasing organisation is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent, serving policing requirements in Gwent. The awarded software service is to support activity across Gwent and the surrounding delivery areas represented in the procurement. Suppliers relevant to this requirement are those providing SolarWinds-related observability software, subscription support and training for users of the platform.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to LOOP1 UK LIMITED through a below-threshold procurement route. The award was made on 27 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 27 August 2026 to 24 August 2029. Its value is £69,333.32 excluding VAT, or £83,199.98 including VAT. There was one lot covering the SolarWinds subscription and Loop1 renewal. The award is active and the contract is active. The contracting process used a tender initiation, with the procurement method recorded as below threshold. The award covers software package and information systems, with the contract combining subscription provision and training renewal for the buyer’s users.

This award shows established demand from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent for SolarWinds observability technology that can integrate information across an IT ecosystem, together with practical user training. A credible future competitor would need to provide or support SolarWinds subscriptions and understand the operational requirements of an organisation using the platform for IT visibility. Capability to connect data from different parts of an IT environment is central to the requirement. The training element also indicates that suppliers should be able to help users make effective use of the software, not simply supply licences. Relevant businesses include software providers, specialist resellers, platform support firms and training providers able to combine these services.
