## Summary

The Royal Berkshire Fire & Rescue Service has completed a procurement process for the provision of historical SAGE licences. This contract, awarded to Datel Group, falls under the software package and information systems industry category. The procurement, which was conducted under a waiver method, concluded with the awarding of the contract on 25th November 2024. Key dates include the contract period running from 22nd November 2024 to 21st November 2031. The tender addresses the need for two Sage 1000 licences required for audit and historical data access from December 2024, with the delivery location specified as RG31 7SD, Reading, England.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs. The tender process, designed with SME suitability in mind, offers a substantial seven-year contract valued at £20,440 GBP. Companies specialising in software support services, particularly those with experience in maintaining legacy systems and providing long-term data access solutions, are well-suited to compete for these types of contracts. Such engagements enable steady revenue streams and deepen relationships with public sector clients, facilitating further growth and opportunities.

## Notice

Sage 1000 support will end from December 2024, and we are moving on to a new solution with Technology One, but we need to have access to the historical data for reporting and audit purposes. For the Authority to access the system, 2 licences are required: 1. Sage 1000 full access license - - valid as long as support contract is in place we will continue to issue & invoice your Sage 1000 license annually as normal until such time you no longer transact on Sage 1000 (up unit 3/12/29). 2. Sage 1000 historical access licence. The minimum number of years the licence can be bought is for 7 years to cover audit and HMRC requirements. Fusion and V1 licenses will continue to be issued alongside the Sage 1000 and included in annual renewals invoice until the Authority no longer requires it. This contract was awarded under a waiver.
