Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Trinity University procured IT network malware protection: security software to protect the university’s network from malicious software and related threats. The requirement is classified under CPV 48730000, security software packages, and is a goods purchase rather than a service or works contract. Delivery is for Leeds Trinity University in Leeds, England. The buying organisation is Leeds Trinity University, which uses the requirement to support the security of its institutional IT network. The procurement concerns one network protection requirement and does not describe wider managed security, consultancy, hardware installation or general IT support. Suppliers whose main business is supplying network security software and associated protection solutions are the most directly relevant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from the Jisc PROC2719 Network Solutions framework. The tender closed on 21 August 2026, and the award was made on 26 August 2026. Softcat PLC was selected for an awarded value of £68,864. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 1 September 2027. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route; the available record does not set out separate quality or price weightings. The original estimated tender value was also £68,864. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, and covers a single goods requirement for network malware protection.

This award indicates that Leeds Trinity University buys network malware protection through a call-off from an established technology framework, at a scale suited to a defined institutional network security requirement. Suppliers positioning for a future requirement of this type would need a reliable network security software offering, the technical capability to protect an education-sector network from malware, and the operational capacity to supply and support the solution for the full contract term. Familiarity with framework call-off processes would be important, as would the ability to meet public-sector purchasing and delivery requirements. The stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs shows that smaller specialist security suppliers can be relevant, provided they can demonstrate credible delivery capacity and effective network protection.
