Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Health Security Agency procured cloud security services comprising Egress Protect, Egress High Assurance, Egress Workspace and Secure Hosted Cloud Storage. The requirement is primarily security software and is classified under CPV 48730000. Services are for the agency’s operations in London, United Kingdom. The buyer is UK Health Security Agency, based at 10 South Colonnade, London. The procurement concerns licences and associated cloud services rather than hardware, construction or general IT support. It is relevant to suppliers of cloud-based information security, secure communications, hosted storage and software licensing services, particularly those able to provide Egress products or an equivalent managed licensing and service arrangement. The requirement covers the buyer’s organisational use of security and storage capabilities across its UK public health operations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement, Lot 2 for cloud software. The tender deadline was 24 August 2026 at 12:00, and the award was made on 28 August 2026. Softcat plc was selected, with an awarded value of £561,600. The stated minimum value is £280,830, while the tender description gives a maximum potential contract value of £561,660 excluding VAT. The initial contract period runs from 31 August 2026 to 30 August 2027. The arrangement includes an option to extend for up to a further 12 months. The procurement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award identifies a substantial, organisation-wide requirement for Egress cloud security licences, secure hosted storage and high-assurance protection within UK public health. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need strong capability in cloud security software licensing, secure email or information protection, hosted storage and deployment across a large public-sector environment. Experience supplying regulated or security-sensitive organisations would help demonstrate credibility, alongside the operational capacity to support multiple Egress services under one managed arrangement. Competitors should also understand Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud call-off procedures and be able to work through the relevant cloud software framework route. The award to a large supplier and the buyer’s stated unsuitability for SMEs indicate a procurement geared towards established providers with broad product access, account management and service support.
