## Summary

Halton Borough Council procured support for its Nimble Storage system, classified as software and information systems. The requirement is a support contract for the council’s storage technology, rather than a general IT support service. Delivery is in the Halton area of Cheshire, represented by the council’s Widnes address. The procurement comprised one lot and was categorised as a purchase of goods. The council is the buyer and contract user; the selected supplier is a Leeds-based technology company. This is a narrowly defined infrastructure support requirement for suppliers with relevant Nimble Storage expertise and the ability to support a local authority’s storage environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Halton Borough Council used a below-threshold procedure, with the procurement method recorded as unknown. One lot was awarded to DESK TOP PUBLISHING MICRO SYSTEMS LIMITED. The contract was signed on 13 October 2026 and runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. Its gross value is £46,929.02. The award covers support for Nimble Storage, classified within software and information systems. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the process data, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be described. The award and contract are for a single supplier and a single lot; the published contract value relates to that contract.

For suppliers that missed this award, the contract shows Halton Borough Council’s demand for dedicated support for Nimble Storage, on a focused, single-lot scale. A credible competitor would need demonstrable expertise in Nimble Storage systems and the practical capacity to maintain and support the council’s storage environment throughout a defined service period. Experience supporting public-sector or similarly complex organisations would help demonstrate dependable service delivery, although the procurement data does not set out specific accreditations or staffing requirements. The selected supplier is an established technology business, indicating that specialist IT providers can compete for this type of work. This is relevant to storage vendors and support partners whose offering is tightly aligned to Nimble Storage, rather than suppliers providing unrelated software or broad IT services.
