Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council has concluded a procurement process for the provision of "Cyber Security Technology" under the classification of internet services. The procurement, valued at £1,520,019.35, involves supplying Trend Micro Product Licences and is located in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The process was conducted through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded on 5 May 2025 to SOFTCAT LTD and spans from 12 May 2025 to 11 May 2030. The procurement stage has reached the award phase, and the awarded contract was most recently published on 5 January 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in cyber security solutions and internet services to engage in long-term contracts with a reputable public sector entity. Although the procurement method was selective and did not generally target SMEs or VCSEs, larger firms with experience in framework agreements could seek similar opportunities in future call-offs. Businesses in regions with strong expertise in technological and IT services, especially those proficient in providing and managing licencing solutions, stand to benefit significantly from such tenders.
