Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight commissioned maintenance for its Pure Storage arrays. This is an IT infrastructure support service covering the maintenance and repair of computer equipment, with the requirement delivered for the Isle of Wight in Newport and across the associated local area. The buyer is the Isle of Wight, a public-sector health organisation. The work concerns an existing Pure Storage environment rather than general IT support, so relevant suppliers are those able to maintain and support Pure Storage storage arrays in an NHS or comparable public-sector setting. The requirement was described as “Additional Pure Storage”, indicating additional maintenance associated with the buyer’s storage infrastructure. The procurement is categorised as services, with computer-equipment maintenance as its primary classification.

This procurement has been awarded. The buyer used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a competition, through the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solutions Framework. The requirement had one lot and the stated evaluation basis was price. Softcat Plc was selected as supplier; the award is active and the contract was signed on 4 September 2026. The signed contract value is £164,610. The contracting process is recorded as complete. The single lot is separately recorded as cancelled, while the associated award and contract remain active in the published outcome. One bid was recorded for the lot. No contract duration or award date is published, so the signed date is the relevant confirmed contract milestone.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this outcome shows a public-sector buyer purchasing specialist maintenance for Pure Storage arrays through an established NHS framework, with price as the stated basis for evaluation. A credible competitor would need demonstrable capability to support Pure Storage storage infrastructure, maintain arrays reliably and provide a clearly priced service. Experience of working with health-sector or similarly operationally critical environments would help establish confidence, particularly where storage supports essential services. Suppliers should also be able to operate within a framework-based call-off route and respond to a narrowly defined storage-maintenance requirement rather than offering only broad desktop, networking or generic IT support. The selected supplier was a large IT services company, indicating capacity to deliver this type of requirement at organisational scale.
