## Summary

North Tyneside Borough Council procured specialist storage infrastructure support and upgrade services for its existing Pure Storage FlashArray environment. The requirement continues the council’s Evergreen Forever support arrangement, including 24/7 technical support and defined replacement delivery services. It also includes an Ever Modern upgrade of the existing FlashArray equipment to Pure Storage FlashArray X20R5 controllers. This is an information technology service focused on storage systems, storage management and related infrastructure maintenance, rather than a new installation or general IT support service. The work is for the council’s authority-wide infrastructure in North Tyneside, with delivery in the North East of England. The selected supplier is Proact IT UK Limited, a large specialist IT services business based in Chesterfield.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was awarded to Proact IT UK Limited. The award was made on 9 September 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 16 September 2026 to 15 September 2029. Its value is £39,968.46 excluding VAT, or £47,962.15 including VAT. The award covers the continuation of Evergreen Forever support and the Ever Modern upgrade of the council’s Pure Storage FlashArray equipment. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated and concluded without a competitive tender, using the direct award route for this below-threshold requirement.

This award demonstrates established demand for specialist Pure Storage capability within a local authority environment. Suppliers seeking to compete for a future requirement from North Tyneside Borough Council would need credible experience supporting Pure Storage FlashArray infrastructure, maintaining storage platforms and delivering controller upgrades to the X20R5 range. They would also need to provide dependable 24/7 support, manage defined replacement delivery services and maintain continuity across an existing operational environment. Relevant capability includes storage system diagnostics, fault resolution, hardware replacement coordination, upgrade planning and implementation, and service management for critical public-sector infrastructure. Proact IT UK Limited’s selection indicates that a supplier with the product expertise, operational coverage and capacity to support an established Pure Storage estate would be well placed for this requirement when it next reaches the market.
