## Summary

Norwich City Council procured a three-year backup software service for its operations. The requirement is for backup software, classified as software programming and consultancy services, with delivery in the Norwich and East Norfolk area. The council is the buying organisation, and the procurement covered a single lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Softcat plc following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 11 April 2025 and runs from 11 April 2025 to 11 April 2028. Its value is £29,879 excluding VAT (£35,854 including VAT). The process covered one lot. No separate award date or evaluation criteria are stated in the available contracting information.

This award demonstrates demand from Norwich City Council for backup software through a limited competition. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable future requirement would need to provide backup software and be credible in software programming or consultancy services. The award provides no evidence of additional accreditation, technical specifications or service requirements, so no further capability threshold can be inferred.
