UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, initiated by West Berkshire Council, encompasses the award and contract stages for the supply of branch and centralised campus firewall/routers. The tender, titled "Branch and centralised Campus Firewall/Routers," falls under the goods category, specifically mainframe hardware, and includes 36 FortiNet FG90G units with 3 years of hardware and software support, alongside 4 FortiNet FG200G units with 5 years of support. Located in the UKJ region, the contract value is set at £99,193.50 with a gross amount of £119,032.20. The award was active as of 13th May 2026, with the contract signed on 30th March 2026 and set to conclude on 29th March 2031.

This procurement represents significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies operating in the IT and cybersecurity sectors. Large suppliers such as SOFTCAT PLC, which successfully secured the contract, highlighted the benefits of providing comprehensive IT security solutions for public authorities. Businesses that specialise in hardware supply with robust support services would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders, making it an attractive opportunity for those aiming to bolster their presence in public sector contracts. The contract, procured through a below-threshold method, underscores the importance of maintaining competitive offerings tailored to the needs of public sector organisations.
