Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Northamptonshire Integrated Care Board procured a Palo Alto firewalls solution to provide computer network services for its NHS organisation. The requirement covers the provision of Palo Alto firewall technology and associated services, delivered in the East Midlands. It is a services procurement, focused on network security infrastructure rather than general IT support. The buying organisation is NHS Northamptonshire Integrated Care Board, whose recorded address is in Derby. The procurement formed part of the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework, under its software lot. Businesses specialising in Palo Alto firewall solutions, network security infrastructure and related technology supply or support would find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework, Lot 3: Software. Bids closed on 7 May 2026 at 14:00. The award was made on 27 July 2026 to INSIGHT DIRECT (UK) LTD for £336,411.82 including the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract runs from 16 May 2026 to 15 May 2031. The procurement was evaluated as a framework call-off for this specified firewall solution. The opportunity was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a substantial NHS requirement for Palo Alto firewall technology procured through a technology products framework. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need demonstrable capability in Palo Alto solutions, network security infrastructure and the supply or delivery of associated software and services. It would also need access to the relevant framework route, or a route that gives the buyer access to equivalent technology products and services. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that the requirement was placed with a business able to support an NHS-scale deployment and the associated delivery obligations. Specialist security technology resellers and established network infrastructure providers are the closest fit.
