## Summary

Newcastle City Council has initiated a public procurement process for the acquisition of anti-virus software through the RM6098 framework, specifically Lot 3. The procurement, under the ID 066766-2026 and currently in the tender stage, involves an open competition process for IT services in the Newcastle Upon Tyne region (UKC22). Proposals must be submitted electronically by 29th July 2026, with the contract expected to start on 1st September 2026 and extend potentially up to five years, including renewal options. The project is valued at £120,000 gross, with a main focus on services below the threshold for open competition.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for IT service providers, particularly those specialising in consulting, software development, Internet support, and aligned with public authority needs. Businesses experienced with frameworks such as RM6098 would particularly benefit, as the selection prioritises suppliers already awarded onto Lot 3. The contract award criteria focus largely on competitive pricing (80%) complemented by a quality assessment (20%). This offers an attractive business growth avenue for firms capable of providing high-quality IT solutions at a cost-effective rate.
