## Summary

The procurement process for a Digital Preservation System, led by Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, has been completed under the G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement (RM1557.14), specifically from Lot 2: Cloud Software. The tender, classified under the industry category of Software Package and Information Systems (CPV code: 48000000), culminated in an award on 16 February 2026. This tender involved a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement, indicating a pre-competed and approved process reducing the bidding period. The contract commenced on 17 February 2026 and is set to last for three years until 16 February 2029, with the primary activities taking place in Rotherham, England (Postal code: S60 1AE).

This awarded tender presents diverse opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and organisations interested in providing sophisticated cloud software solutions. Companies capable of delivering high-quality digital preservation systems are well-suited to this kind of procurement, especially those looking to establish themselves within government digital transformation projects. With Preservica Ltd, an SME, securing this contract, it demonstrates that smaller yet specialised companies can effectively compete and succeed against larger enterprises, provided they meet framework requirements.
