Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured an enhanced Commvault software licence and support package for business continuity. The requirement covers software licensing and associated support, intended to help maintain continuity of the council’s business operations. It is an IT services procurement, within the broad field of IT services, software development and support (CPV 72000000). The listed delivery area is in the East Midlands of England. The council is based in Matlock, Derbyshire. The package was arranged through the G-Cloud 14 framework as a call-off, rather than as a separately advertised competition. This is a specialist software and support requirement, rather than a general-purpose IT consultancy or equipment purchase.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Coolspirit Limited, an SME. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026; no award date or contract value is published in the supplied details. The procurement used a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, as a G-Cloud 14 call-off. Price was the stated award criterion. The requirement was placed as one lot, with one optional annual extension. That lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. The available bid statistics report one bid and a lowest valid bid value of £199,875.20, with a highest valid bid value of £399,750.40; these statistics are not identified as the awarded contract value. The listed contract period is not provided.

For suppliers competing for a similar requirement from Derbyshire County Council, this award indicates demand for enhanced Commvault licensing and support specifically for business continuity, procured through the G-Cloud framework. A credible competitor would need to supply the relevant Commvault licence and provide support suited to keeping council business operations running. Familiarity with the framework call-off route and the ability to put forward a competitive price are relevant, since the recorded evaluation basis was price and the procurement received one bid. The package included an optional annual extension, so suppliers should be able to support an ongoing relationship as well as the initial licence and support requirement. This is a focused software and support opportunity: suppliers without the relevant Commvault capability or a route to provide it are less closely matched.
