Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of endpoint security software and support has been completed by Manchester Metropolitan University, located in Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. The tender, titled "Tender for the Provision of End Point Security Software and Support - Award," aimed to consolidate the university's requirements for next-generation antivirus and anti-malware protection into a single solution. The contract was awarded to Softcat plc, with a total value of £147,765.30. The contract period commenced on 30th January 2019 and will continue until 30th January 2022. The procurement category falls under security software packages in the goods sector, and the tender process was initiated as a competitive tender.

This award presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the cybersecurity industry, particularly those offering security software solutions suitable for educational institutions. As the university seeks consolidated and efficient security measures, vendors providing innovative antivirus and malware protection systems should consider bidding in future tenders. The involvement of larger suppliers like Softcat plc indicates a competitive landscape where specialised knowledge and tailored solutions can help smaller entities stand out. Businesses experienced in endpoint security, particularly those capable of demonstrating sophisticated support structures, will be well-positioned to gain from such procurements.
