Summary of the contracting process

Companies House bought Tenable One licences for an exposure management platform intended to bring visibility, insight and action together. The purchase is for security software, rather than a wider managed security service or implementation project. Delivery is identified at an address in Cardiff and across locations in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as Guernsey and Jersey. This is a UK-wide requirement for organisations supplying Tenable One licensing and related security software. Companies House is the buyer.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Computacenter (Gcat). Companies House used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 2 September 2026, and the award was made on 18 September 2026. The awarded value is £328,545.54. The contract period runs from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2027. The estimated procurement range was £164,272.77 to £328,545.54. The tender record identifies SME and voluntary, community and social enterprises as suitable to participate. No separate evaluation criteria are stated in the available process data.

The award demonstrates a defined buyer requirement for Tenable One licences supporting a platform that unifies exposure visibility, insight and action, with use across Companies House locations in the UK and Crown Dependencies. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide access to Tenable One licensing and support a multi-location public-sector customer. The route used was a framework call-off, so relevant framework access and the ability to supply through that route would be important. The selected supplier was a large organisation, but the procurement was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller suppliers were considered eligible. Credible competitors should be positioned to meet a software requirement at this contract’s scale.
