UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority procured a subscription for SolarWinds software, an IT software product. The requirement was for software access rather than works or an on-site service, and the stated subscription covers a three-year period. The buying organisation is York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority. Delivery is recorded for the United Kingdom, with no more specific place identified. The procurement was handled as a single lot and is complete. The awarded software package was classified as IT software. This opportunity is relevant to software vendors and resellers able to supply SolarWinds subscriptions to public-sector organisations, particularly suppliers serving buyers in York and North Yorkshire.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to LOOP1 UK LIMITED. The award was made on 15 September 2026, with a stated value of £33,180 excluding VAT (£39,816 including VAT). The contract period runs from 22 October 2026 to 16 September 2029. It was a below-threshold, limited competition, organised as one lot. Three bids were received, and all three reached the final stage; one final-stage bidder was an SME. The award is active. The purchase is a SolarWinds software subscription. The contract description gives subscription dates of 16 September 2026 to 16 September 2029, while the recorded contract period starts on 22 October 2026. The stated award value is the recorded outcome; no other contract value is reported.

This award shows that York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority buys SolarWinds software through a below-threshold limited competition, with three suppliers reaching the final stage and an SME among them. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement should be able to provide SolarWinds subscriptions and demonstrate that they can support a public-sector buyer’s software procurement and subscription term. LOOP1 UK LIMITED, a small or medium-sized enterprise, was selected, indicating that a supplier need not be a large organisation to compete successfully in this purchase. The requirement is narrowly focused on SolarWinds software rather than broader IT services, so suppliers with relevant product access and a credible route to supplying this software are best aligned with the buyer’s demonstrated demand.
