Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland, through the Common Services Agency, procured Commvault Backup and Recovery Services for NHS Scotland’s National Services Scotland and Public Health Scotland. The requirement covers protection and recovery for all relevant data stores, physical servers and virtual infrastructure across these organisations. This is an IT services opportunity focused on enterprise backup, recovery, data protection and associated licensing and support, rather than the supply of general hardware. Delivery relates to the buyer’s Scottish public-sector infrastructure and data environment. The procurement was made through the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework, with European Electronique providing the package. Suppliers with experience supporting complex health or public-sector IT estates would find the requirement most relevant, particularly those able to manage Commvault-based services across mixed physical and virtual environments.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It was run as an open procedure and awarded as a call-off under the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026 with European Electronique, which was the selected supplier. The single lot covered the complete Commvault licensing, backup, recovery and support requirement. The contract value is £249,555 for the 60-month contract term. One electronic bid was recorded. The available outcome information identifies European Electronique as the supplier and confirms the contract remains active; the procurement itself is marked complete. The evaluation basis is not stated in the published outcome information, so businesses assessing the precedent should focus on the technical scope, framework route, contract scale and five-year service commitment.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates sustained demand from Scottish public-sector health bodies for managed Commvault licensing, backup and recovery across a sizeable mixed IT estate. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need strong Commvault capability, including licensing knowledge, backup design, recovery testing, data-store protection and support for both physical servers and virtual infrastructure. Experience of maintaining resilient services for organisations with critical operational data would be important, as would the capacity to deliver consistent support across multiple public bodies. The route to market also matters: access to, or a suitable position within, a relevant public-sector framework may be essential. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that specialist capability can compete through the framework route.
