UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council procured licences for the Altaro backup solution, covering backup for Office 365 and Windows Server. This is a software supply requirement for organisations needing backup and recovery protection across Microsoft cloud productivity services and Windows Server environments. The awarded items are classified as backup or recovery software. Delivery is stated for the United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation, and the requirement is grouped as a single lot. Suppliers serving public-sector customers with software licensing and the provision of backup products relevant to Office 365 and Windows Server would recognise this as a focused technology supply opportunity.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to INFINIGATE CLOUD UK LTD. Wolverhampton City Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and runs from 23 September 2026 to 23 September 2028. Its value is £60,576 excluding VAT (£72,691.20 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the Altaro backup licences. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and an active contract. The available procurement details do not set out the evaluation criteria, so the basis for comparing suppliers cannot be described here.

For suppliers who did not win, this award shows that Wolverhampton City Council buys backup software licences for Office 365 and Windows Server through a limited competition below the relevant threshold. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to supply appropriate licences and demonstrate that its backup product supports both environments. The contract was awarded to a specialist cloud distributor, indicating that suppliers able to provide a suitable software product through a public-sector purchasing route may be well placed. This is a focused licensing requirement rather than a broad IT services engagement; relevant product coverage and the ability to supply the licences are central to competing when the council next requires this solution.
