Summary of the contracting process

UK Health Security Agency procured security software and associated support services through a Tenable One Vulnerability Management solution. The requirement covers software licences for vulnerability management, exposure assessment, risk prioritisation and security reporting across the agency’s IT estate. It is classified as a security software package and falls within the services category. Delivery is associated with the agency’s site at 10 South Colonnade, London, and the wider UK Health Security Agency IT estate. The requirement is relevant to suppliers of enterprise cyber-security software, vulnerability monitoring platforms, exposure management tools, security risk reporting and the implementation or support of these technologies for public-sector organisations.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 14 Framework, Lot 2 for cloud software. The tender deadline was 24 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Softcat plc on 28 August 2026 for £383,571.70 including the stated GBP currency, covering the period from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The tender and award are recorded as complete and active respectively. UK Health Security Agency marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The route and outcome indicate a framework-based technology procurement rather than an open competition.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Health Security Agency for enterprise vulnerability management delivered as cloud software, with licensing and continuing support rather than a standalone consultancy exercise. A credible future competitor would need strong capability in vulnerability discovery, exposure assessment, risk prioritisation and security reporting across a complex IT estate, together with the capacity to supply and support substantial software licensing. Experience serving public-sector or similarly regulated organisations would help demonstrate that the supplier can manage security, governance, service continuity and reporting requirements. Suppliers should also understand how to use the G-Cloud cloud-software route and meet the expectations associated with larger-scale delivery, as the buyer assessed the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs.
