## Summary

Durham Constabulary has concluded the procurement process for "Scality RING Geo Site 24x7 Support," classified under software support services with CPV code 72261000. This tender, executed through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement, was aimed at securing around-the-clock support for a software-defined storage system deployed across multiple geographic sites. The procurement stage has reached the award phase, with the tender period ending on 28th October 2025, and the contract running from 18th January 2026 to 17th January 2027 in Durham, England. The award, amounting to £18,390.96 in GBP, was published on 10th December 2025.

This contract presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses engaged in software support services, particularly those capable of providing robust 24x7 support across diverse locations. Despite its award to Softcat PLC, a large-scale supplier, the procurement method suggests that competitive bids from small and medium enterprises could be viable in similar future tender processes. Businesses well-versed in software-defined systems and possessing a strong framework-agreement experience will likely find themselves well-positioned to compete in this market sector.
