## Summary

The Scottish Prison Service, acting as the buying organisation, recently completed the award phase of a public procurement process for licensing and support of the VEEAM Data Platform Back-Up Infrastructure. This service contract, identified as SPS-02265, was procured through an open procedure aimed at mitigating data loss risks, particularly in scenarios involving system failures and disaster recovery. Located at One Lochside Avenue in Edinburgh, the procurement process was intended to provide sustained support for the existing Veeam Data Platform Foundation Universal licence. Initially planned in April 2025, the tender phase followed in May 2025 and transitioned to the award stage by July 2025, with the contract signed on 17th June 2025. The total contract value is GBP 35,936.13, within the industry category for services related to Public Order and Safety, evidencing a structured procurement process covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA).

This procurement offers growth opportunities to IT service providers specializing in data backup and disaster recovery solutions. Businesses that possess expertise in maintaining and supporting large-scale IT infrastructure, especially those experienced with VEEAM products, are well-suited to engage with similar tenders. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can leverage this type of contract to build their portfolio and establish credibility within the public sector, considering Akhter Computers Limited, an SME, successfully secured the contract. The open procedure method allows for a fair competitive process, encouraging businesses to tender their solutions and potentially secure similar public sector contracts in the future.

## Notice
