UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has recently completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Fortigate Firewalls for CPS offices." This tender, identified by PR 2026 057, was concluded on 26th June 2026 and involved the acquisition of 25 new Fortinet FortiGate firewalls. The procurement was conducted under a limited method, indicated as "Below threshold - limited competition," focusing on hardware provision classified under the goods category. The firewalls will be deployed across CPS office locations in London, United Kingdom, with the contract having been activated from 24th June to 24th July 2026. The procurement cycle has moved past the award stage to the contract implementation phase, reflecting a seamless transition in meeting CPS's technological requirements.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in hardware and cybersecurity solutions, particularly those capable of supplying and supporting large-scale deployments of security infrastructure like firewalls. While the contract was awarded to Softcat PLC, a large-scale supplier based in Marlow, other businesses with expertise in government procurement and competitive pricing strategies in the technological goods sector might find similar opportunities beneficial. Companies venturing into delivering goods to public authorities, such as central government entities, should follow such tenders closely to position themselves effectively for future prospects.
