## Summary

Durham County Council procured renewed third-party support for Documation software to help meet NIS2 compliance requirements. The requirement concerns support for an industry-specific software package, rather than a new software implementation. The work is associated with the council in Durham, England. The procurement was structured as a single lot and covers support for the Documation product; the published description does not break this down into particular support activities or technical deliverables. The buyer is Durham County Council, and the selected supplier is Documation Software Limited, a software company based in Southampton. This is a council software-support requirement focused on maintaining Documation and addressing compliance needs under NIS2.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Documation Software Limited without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The award was made on 9 October 2026, and the contract was signed that day. The contract runs from 17 October 2026 to 16 October 2027. Its value is £30,863.15 excluding VAT, or £37,035.78 including VAT. One lot was awarded, covering the Documation software support requirement. The stated purpose was to renew third-party support for NIS2 compliance. The available procurement details do not set out separate evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements; the supplier was selected through the direct award route.

For suppliers seeking comparable future work from Durham County Council, this award demonstrates demand for continued third-party support for Documation software tied to NIS2 compliance. A credible competitor would need demonstrable expertise in supporting the Documation product and a clear ability to address the council’s relevant compliance support needs. The selected supplier is a specialist software company, indicating that product-specific capability is central to this requirement. The single-lot award and direct, non-competitive route show that this procurement was handled as a focused renewal rather than an open competition across multiple lots. Suppliers should therefore be able to evidence a strong fit with the existing software and support requirement; the procurement does not describe a broader software replacement or implementation project.
