Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tamworth Borough Council procured Zscaler products and related services covering software, implementation and ongoing support. The requirement is classified as software packages and information systems and falls within the services category. The work is for the council and is delivered in Tamworth, England. Zscaler is a cloud-based security platform, so relevant suppliers are likely to include technology providers and managed service businesses able to supply the software alongside implementation and support services. The council is the purchasing organisation and the requirement forms part of its information technology provision. The stated scope is a combined product and services requirement rather than a standalone software purchase, making it relevant to businesses that can manage deployment as well as provide continuing technical assistance.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. Tamworth Borough Council used a selective call-off from the NOE CPC Provision of Total Technology Solutions Framework. The tender submission deadline was 30 July 2026, and the contract was awarded on 31 July 2026 to Softcat PLC. The awarded value is £52,313.62 including the published currency, GBP. The contract runs from 31 July 2026 to 30 July 2028, with an option to extend for a further year. The award is recorded as active. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and the contract value; no separate scoring or weighting basis is stated.

For competitors, this award demonstrates a local authority requirement for an integrated Zscaler supply, implementation and support service at a modest technology-contract scale. Businesses best placed for a future requirement would be able to provide Zscaler licensing or products, plan and deliver a secure deployment, and support the council after implementation. Relevant capability would include practical expertise in cloud security, network access controls, identity-based security and the operational support of software platforms. Experience of working with public sector customers and delivering technology services through a framework call-off would strengthen credibility. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, so a specialist security provider or focused technology services business may be well placed, particularly where it can combine product expertise with dependable implementation and support capacity.
