## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham procured Red Hat Enterprise Server licensing, a software product for building, running and securing enterprise IT infrastructure. The requirement supports power servers, hybrid cloud environments, databases and large-scale applications. It is a goods procurement for enterprise IT software, classified under CPV 48517000. The buying organisation is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham, based in Durham. The requirement is relevant to software licensing providers, enterprise infrastructure specialists and technology resellers able to supply Red Hat Enterprise Server licensing for public-sector IT environments. The selected supplier was Phoenix Software Limited, a large York-based software company, indicating that the buyer used an established commercial software provider for this requirement.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. One lot was awarded to Phoenix Software Limited, with an active award and contract. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and runs from 14 August 2026 to 13 August 2027. Its value is £7,945.96 excluding VAT, or £9,535.15 including VAT. The procurement was below threshold, using a procedure recorded as “below threshold - unknown”. The award date is not separately stated, but the contract was signed on 14 August 2026. The requirement was evaluated through a single completed lot, and the contract remains active for the stated one-year period. The awarded supplier is the only supplier identified for this procurement.

For competing suppliers, this award is evidence that Durham’s policing organisation buys enterprise server software licensing to support core infrastructure, hybrid cloud environments, databases and large-scale applications. A credible future competitor would need the ability to supply the specified Red Hat Enterprise Server licensing accurately, understand enterprise IT environments and support software used across substantial operational systems. Relevant businesses include software resellers, licensing specialists and enterprise technology providers with experience supplying public-sector or similarly complex organisations. The procurement also shows that this buyer can use a below-threshold route for a focused software requirement rather than a large multi-lot technology programme. Suppliers should therefore be able to respond efficiently to a defined licensing requirement, provide clear commercial terms and demonstrate dependable fulfilment for critical IT infrastructure software.
