## Summary

Durham County Council is seeking a contractor for the "Expansion of the Dell Cyber Backup Platform Disk Space" project, which is classified under backup or recovery software development services. The procurement method employed for this contract is selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender process concluded on 9 April 2022, with the contract awarded on 25 April 2022. The total contract value is £126,564.86, and it will span from 3 May 2022 to 2 November 2025. The project is located in Durham, England.

This tender presents an opportunity for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that have experience in data storage services and software development. Companies that can demonstrate capability in providing backup solutions or recovery software may find this a suitable avenue for partnership or service provision to Durham County Council, fostering potential long-term collaborations in the public sector.

## Notice

Durham's new Dell cyber backup platform needs another, planned, disk expansion to all of Durham to migrate the remaining backup workloads to it. Additional information: For continuity with the previous procurement and to ensure the continuation of service provision, a direct award to the incumbent supplier via the NHS Shared Business Services (NHSSBS) Digital Workplace Solutions (DWS) framework was identified as the compliant route to market for this requirement.
