Summary of the contracting process

London Ambulance Service NHS Trust procured Fortinet licences as goods for its network infrastructure. The requirement was a framework call-off contract under the Pan London ICT framework, covering licensing rather than installation or wider managed services. Delivery is associated with London Ambulance Service’s premises at 220 Waterloo Road, London, SE1 8SD, and with London generally. The procurement therefore concerns suppliers able to provide Fortinet licensing for a public ambulance service and support network infrastructure requirements in the London area. The buying organisation is London Ambulance Service NHS Trust, which uses the licences within its own operational technology environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 1 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract runs from 6 July 2026 to 5 July 2027, for a fixed 12-month period. The awarded value is £138,180.32, including the published currency of GBP. British Telecommunications Public Limited Company was awarded the contract on 27 July 2026 at £138,180.32. The award covers the Fortinet licensing requirement and the procurement was classified as network infrastructure. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award is useful market evidence for technology suppliers tracking London Ambulance Service’s network security and infrastructure demand. A future competitor would need a strong Fortinet licensing proposition, the operational capacity to support a large public-sector requirement, and familiarity with purchasing through the Pan London ICT framework or a comparable approved route. The selected supplier was a large telecommunications business, indicating that scale, established public-sector contracting capability and the ability to manage licensing supply for a critical emergency-service organisation were commercially relevant. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable account management, accurate licence provisioning and continuity of service across the buyer’s London operations. Fortinet specialists partnered with larger framework suppliers may also be well placed to compete when this requirement returns.
