Summary of the contracting process

The Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority has completed a procurement process for the provision of cyber security solutions, classified under the data security software package industry category. This procurement was conducted using a limited procurement method, specifically a framework call-off from the RM1557.14 G Cloud 14, which falls outside the traditional scope of competitive tendering directives. The awarded contract, valued at £28,292, was signed with Trustmarque Solutions Ltd on 25 June 2025. The procurement process took place in the UKD7 region, specifically associated with Merseyside, and was carried out under the General Procurement Agreement (GPA) framework.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cybersecurity solutions, particularly those capable of providing efficient and cost-effective data security software packages. Companies involved in the delivery of similar goods, particularly those already familiar with framework agreements like G Cloud, would be well-placed to engage in similar opportunities. Large-scale suppliers with the capability to deliver comprehensive cybersecurity packages can find scope for growth through engagements with regional authorities such as the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority, thereby enhancing their market presence within the public sector.
