This procurement is in the Award stage, with a contract valued at £324,111, signed on 25 April 2022. The method of procurement utilised is a limited award procedure, conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the exclusive rights concerning support and maintenance of SAP products. This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in SAP support and licensing. Given the nature of the contract, suppliers should have a strong background in software maintenance and be capable of providing necessary upgrades and functionalities for existing systems. As the Council plans to continue development within its SAP framework, companies that can align with these requirements may find a rewarding opportunity to expand their operations within the public sector. ## Notice This is not an opportunity, but a VEAT notice to inform the Market that the Council is looking to renew its contract for SAP Enterprise Licences Support and Maintenance to give them rights to product upgrades, new product functionalities, fixes & patches directly with SAP UK Ltd.
