## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Chelmer Housing Partnership Limited, focused on the renewal of IT Cloud Backup licences for 450 users with a contract duration of three years. This tender falls within the computer backup and catalogue conversion services industry category, with SOFTCAT PLC being awarded the contract. The procurement, completed under a limited method focusing purely on cost, was executed below the threshold for limited competition. The contract was signed on 9th May 2025, with its active period stretching from 23rd May 2025 to 22nd May 2028. It covers services to be delivered in the UKH3 region of the United Kingdom.

Businesses operating in the IT services sector, specifically those involved in computer back-up and catalogue conversion, can find significant opportunities from tenders like this, particularly when cost is the predominant selection criterion. While this completed procurement did not consider quality elements due to its nature as a simple licence renewal, similar opportunities may benefit small to medium enterprises and large-scale IT service providers subject to similar conditions. The buyer Chelmer Housing Partnership Limited, a public authority within sub-central government, could be an important client for companies capable of offering competitive pricing in IT solutions.
