## Summary

Uttlesford District Council procured a two-year Mimecast security renewal for its operations in the East of England. The requirement covers Mimecast A1, advanced support, advanced protection through a cloud gateway, and assisted implementation. It is primarily a software and information systems requirement, involving the renewal and supporting delivery of an established email and cloud security service rather than new physical works. The buyer is Uttlesford District Council, based in Saffron Walden, England. The work is classified as goods, although the scope includes support and implementation activity. Businesses operating in managed cybersecurity, secure email, cloud gateway protection, Mimecast licensing or related software support may find the requirement relevant, particularly where they can provide both the technology renewal and associated technical assistance.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Uttlesford District Council used a selective call-off from the KCS Software Products and Associated Services Framework. The tender deadline was 3 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Bytes Software Services Limited on 30 July 2026 for £74,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 24 August 2028. The awarded requirement is the Mimecast security renewal, including Mimecast A1, advanced support, advanced protection cloud gateway and assisted implementation. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The process was recorded as complete, with an active award to the named supplier.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for Mimecast security renewal delivered through a software products and services framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement from Uttlesford District Council would need strong capability in Mimecast A1 licensing or supply, secure email and cloud gateway protection, advanced technical support and assisted implementation. The buyer’s use of a framework call-off means suppliers should understand framework-based public procurement and be positioned on the relevant framework route, rather than relying only on direct sales. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist with the necessary supplier relationships, technical expertise and delivery capacity could compete alongside larger providers. Evidence of successful implementation, support arrangements and reliable service continuity would strengthen a future offer for this buyer.
