Summary of the contracting process

The East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust has successfully concluded a procurement process titled "IT Security Software Sophos Licence" within the services industry category. The procurement, which utilises a competitive dialogue (above threshold) method, aimed at acquiring licence management software development services. The contract, worth £529,250.70, covers the procurement and management of security products provided by Sophos. The project is located in Colchester, United Kingdom, and spans from 16th September 2024 to 16th September 2026. The procurement stage has progressed to the award phase as of 17th September 2024, with an award made to CHESS ICT LIMITED.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT security software and related services to grow by partnering with a prominent NHS Trust. Companies with experience in developing and managing licence management software, particularly those familiar with Sophos products, are well-suited to compete and excel in such contracts. While smaller enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this particular opportunity challenging due to the scale and specific requirements, it underscores the potential for future engagements and collaboration with large-scale healthcare organisations.
