## Summary

The public procurement process for "Server Support and Maintenance" has been successfully completed with the award dated 8th June 2026. This procurement was carried out by the Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire, located at Staffordshire Police HQ, Stafford, United Kingdom. The process falls under the industry category of software-related services, and it utilised a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period is set from 26th June 2026 to 15th September 2027, covering various regions including British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, rest of the world, and within the United Kingdom itself. The awarded contract includes provisions suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), although not specifically VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises).

This tender represents a significant business opportunity, particularly for SMEs specialising in software services given its regional diversity. The collaboration with the Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire, a prominent buyer, can enhance business prospects for compliant and resourceful IT firms. The procurement process has employed a framework agreement call-off, providing opportunities for businesses already established in similar frameworks to deliver server support and maintenance efficiently. Large-scale enterprises, such as the awarded supplier, Softcat Ltd, are well-suited to compete due to their resources and experience in similar projects, but there remains ample potential for SMEs to establish or expand their portfolio within the public sector by participating in such tenders.
