## Summary

The Leicestershire County Council is currently finalising the procurement process for a project titled "Remote Backup For Schools and Academies." This initiative aims to enhance the data backup services provided to schools across Leicestershire and the surrounding East Midlands region. The contract, valued at £41,580, was awarded to Redstor Limited on 26th October 2018, following an open tender procedure that concluded on 16th October 2018. The contract spans from 1st November 2018 until 31st October 2021 and falls under the IT services industry category, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, internet, and support services.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those capable of delivering high-level security and compliance with the latest standards.
