Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority procured cyber security software and associated support services for delivery in the North West of England. The requirement covers web security, email security, malware protection and malware detection. It is classified as a data security software package and falls within the goods category. The buyer is responsible for fire and rescue services in Merseyside, with the procurement intended to support its operational information security needs. The scope therefore suits suppliers providing software licences or packages that protect web and email systems, detect and prevent malicious software, and provide ongoing technical support. Businesses serving public-sector or emergency-service environments may find the requirement particularly relevant where they can combine software supply with dependable support.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 11 July 2026 at 1pm, and the contract was awarded to Trustmarque Solutions Limited on 27 July 2026. The awarded value is £28,963 excluding any applicable taxes, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active and covers the full cyber security software requirement, with no separate lots identified. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The contracting authority is Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority’s cyber security requirements. Credible competitors would need to supply integrated protection across web and email environments, with effective malware detection and protection rather than a single standalone security product. They would also need to provide reliable technical support throughout delivery, including the capability to maintain, troubleshoot and support the deployed software. The framework call-off route indicates that relevant suppliers should understand framework purchasing and be able to respond efficiently to a defined public-sector requirement. The stated SME suitability suggests that smaller specialist cyber security businesses could be competitive where they can demonstrate dependable service delivery, suitable software expertise and the operational capacity to support a fire and rescue authority.
