Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Sheffield has awarded a contract for inbound email security under the title "Abnormal Security". This tender, with the classification ID 48218000 for license management software packages, was completed through a call-off from the KCS Y23065 framework agreement. The procurement method used was selective, indicating a competitive process limited to pre-selected suppliers. The contract period runs from 19th November 2024 to 18th November 2025, with the tender initially closing on 1st November 2024. The awarded supplier is Softcat, based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. The total value of the contract amounts to £54,240 GBP, and the service will be delivered in the Yorkshire and the Humber region.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the IT and cybersecurity sectors, particularly those specializing in email and software security solutions. While SMEs and VCSEs may find this specific opportunity less suitable due to the contract's scale and the competitive nature of selective procurement, established firms with a strong track record in security services and license management software could benefit significantly. Participating in such frameworks and tenders can enhance visibility and reputation, leading to further growth and partnership opportunities with prestigious institutions like the University of Sheffield.
