Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Serious Fraud Office has concluded a public procurement process for the supply of a secure email gateway, awarded under the G Cloud 14 framework. The procurement, classified under the "Networking, Internet and intranet software package" industry category, has been awarded to Exponential-E Limited. This contract is valued at £53,727 and spans a duration from 25th March 2026 to 25th March 2027, with the possibility of two 12-month extensions. The procurement method employed was selective, with a call-off from a framework agreement, and it took place in London, specifically at postal code SW1Y 5BS. The award was announced on 11th March 2026, and the award notice was published on 4th June 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses capable of providing secure email solutions, particularly those familiar with framework agreements like G Cloud 14. Large-scale IT service providers, especially those that have previously engaged in public sector contracts, would find this type of contract advantageous for growth. Although small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not deemed suitable for this process, established IT firms with a strong background in networking and software solutions may consider this an excellent opportunity to deepen their relationship with government entities and expand their offerings in the public sector.
