## Summary

The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority has successfully completed a procurement process for a new 3-year support and maintenance agreement concerning a Dell Isilon Storage Array, sourced through Insight Direct (UK) Ltd. The contract, valued at £255,823.33, falls under the industry category of Computer Network Services and is classified as a service procurement. This direct award process, conducted without prior publication due to restricted procedure outcomes, ensures continued access to crucial technical support and minimises the risk of system downtime. The contract covers areas in the UKE region with the signing date recorded as 18th November 2025. The procurement has progressed to the Award stage and was executed under the guidelines of the WYCA IT framework's terms and conditions.

This tender offers expansive business growth opportunities for large suppliers specializing in IT and technical support services. Firms with expertise in maintaining storage arrays and providing swift hardware replacement and software updates will be particularly well-suited to deliver on this agreement. The procurement's limited method, dictated by the necessity for specific technical qualifications, suggests that businesses with a proven track record and established relationships in dealing with regional authorities like the SYMCA are best placed to benefit. Such tender opportunities can fortify these companies' presence in the regional public sector IT services market, fostering potential long-term partnerships.
