## Summary

North Tyneside Borough Council procured an upgrade and renewal of its Pure Storage FlashArray X20, moving the system from R4 to R5-ETH and adding four modules. The purchase also covers Evergreen/Forever support and lifecycle subscription for the council’s existing Pure Storage hardware. This is an IT storage-system upgrade and ongoing support service, classified under system, storage and content-management software services (CPV 72212780). The work is for North Tyneside Borough Council, with delivery in the North East of England. The requirement concerns the council’s current storage installation and its continuing operation, rather than a general supply of unrelated IT equipment or software.

The procurement is complete and awarded to PROACT IT UK LIMITED. North Tyneside Borough Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, and the procurement was structured as one lot. The contract was signed on 19 September 2026 and runs from 20 September 2026 to 19 September 2029. Its value is £31,621.75 excluding VAT, or £37,946.10 including VAT. The published award information identifies system, storage and content-management software services as the category, but gives no separate scoring or evaluation basis. The contract is active, and the selected supplier is responsible for the upgrade, the four additional modules and ongoing support and lifecycle subscription.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future storage requirements, the award indicates demand for maintaining and upgrading an existing Pure Storage environment, including compatibility across a FlashArray generation change, additional capacity modules and ongoing lifecycle support. A credible competitor would need practical expertise in Pure Storage hardware and upgrade delivery, the ability to supply and integrate the required modules, and access to the relevant support and subscription arrangements. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this purchase, so suppliers should note that this requirement was not competed through an open tender. The opportunity is a focused, single-system infrastructure renewal rather than a broad IT transformation; relevant experience would include supporting installed storage estates and managing upgrades alongside continued service.

## Notice
