## Summary

The public procurement process for the "Rubrik Foundation Edition" was completed by the University of Salford, a public authority under sub-central government classification. The procurement was for goods in the software package and information systems category, specifically targeting the renewal and premium support for Rubrik Foundation Edition products. The procurement method was an open competition below the threshold, with key activities occurring in the UKD33 and UKD34 regions of the United Kingdom. The contract was awarded to Softcat PLC on 8th September 2025, with the contract period running from 19th September 2025 to 18th May 2026. The award was part of a legally framed process under UKPGA 2023/54, aiming for completion of current systems by reinstating Rubrik Foundation products, with a total awarded amount of £31,378.89.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses specializing in IT solutions and services, particularly those dealing with software and information systems. Enterprises positioned in the Greater Manchester area have a geographical advantage due to proximity. The tender process employed an open competition strategy, which is ideal for businesses that can deliver innovative solutions under a competitive cost structure. Companies classified as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find opportunities in similar future tenders despite this contract being awarded to a large enterprise, Softcat PLC. For future engagements, businesses should focus on providing cost-effective and high-quality support to meet public authorities' IT infrastructure and support needs.
