NHS England has completed the procurement process for the renewal of Fortinet Licensing for former HEE/NHSE instances. This contract, classified under the software supply services industry category, was awarded through a single tender action (below threshold) to British Telecommunications Public Limited Company (BT). The tender reached the award stage, with the contract period spanning from 29 June 2024 to 28 June 2025, and the total contract value being £51,386.92. The procurement process involved direct procurement, focusing specifically on the delivery within England, UK, with key dates including the end of the tender period on 28 June 2024 and publication of the award notice on 26 March 2025.
