## Summary

Luminate Education Group is procuring continued licensing, warranty and support for its existing hosted Barracuda MSP instance. The requirement covers data security software and associated IT services, including software support, internet services and technical assistance. The service supports the group’s established Barracuda MSP environment rather than introducing a new platform. The buying organisation is Luminate Education Group, based at Leeds City College in Leeds. The procurement is for services delivered to support the education group’s technology operations. It is suited to suppliers specialising in Barracuda MSP licensing, hosted security platforms, warranty provision and ongoing technical support. The work combines software entitlement with service continuity and supplier support for an existing hosted instance.

The procurement has reached tender: Luminate Education Group invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Responses were to be submitted electronically, with the tender deadline set for 1 October 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract is scheduled to run from 28 October 2026 to 22 November 2029, with an option for one one-year extension to 22 November 2030. The estimated value is £140,000 excluding VAT and £168,000 including VAT; the lot record gives the same figures but records the currency as AED. There is one lot. Part A technical compliance questions are assessed pass or fail; Part B evaluates technical and quality responses at 60% and commercial proposals at 40%.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise suppliers based in the UK. Strong candidates will have practical expertise in Barracuda MSP or closely related hosted email and data-security services, including licensing management, warranty coordination, platform support and issue resolution. Suppliers should be able to maintain continuity for an existing hosted deployment and provide reliable technical assistance throughout a multi-year service arrangement. Relevant experience supporting organisations with operational security requirements, managing software entitlements and responding to technical faults will help bidders address the technical and quality assessment. The pass-or-fail compliance section means suppliers must first meet the stated technical requirements before their quality and commercial responses are compared.
