Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Pensions Regulator procured three years of VirusTotal support: one VirusTotal add-on, one VirusTotal API package at the 5,000 level, and one VirusTotal support service. This is a specialist software and IT support requirement, for delivery to the regulator in Brighton, England. The named products and service indicate a requirement to maintain access to VirusTotal capabilities and technical support. The procurement is for services rather than physical goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Chronicle Security Ireland Limited. The award was made on 15 October 2026, following a single-tender action below the procurement threshold. The awarded contract value is £64,737.07. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029. The planned requirement was for three years of VirusTotal add-on, API access at the 5,000 level and support. The process was not divided into lots. The published procurement records the contract outcome but does not provide separate evaluation weightings or criteria.

This award shows that The Pensions Regulator buys specialist VirusTotal access and support as a multi-year service, rather than procuring a broad cybersecurity programme. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need to supply or support the VirusTotal add-on and API package at the required 5,000 level, and provide dependable technical support throughout a sustained contract. The selected supplier, Chronicle Security Ireland Limited, is recorded as an SME, and the procurement was suitable for SMEs; this indicates the requirement was not restricted to large businesses. Suppliers with demonstrable experience delivering VirusTotal products and support, the capacity to maintain service over several years, and a straightforward route to provide the specified components would be best aligned with this buyer’s requirement.»}
