UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Greater Manchester Combined Authority procured a Tenable One foundation licence, a software and information systems requirement for vulnerability management. The platform is intended to identify, assess and support remediation of vulnerabilities across the authority’s estate. It will operate alongside the organisation’s annual penetration testing programme, providing continuous visibility of security risks and supporting a stronger overall security posture. The buyer is Greater Manchester Combined Authority, based in Manchester, and delivery is across the United Kingdom. This is a single software licence requirement rather than a works or consultancy contract, so relevant businesses are those supplying vulnerability-management platforms, cyber-security software or associated licensing arrangements to public-sector organisations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to PHOENIX SOFTWARE LIMITED. It used a below-threshold limited competition described as a three-quote process under the Procurement Act 2023 and the authority’s constitution. The contract was signed on 3 June 2026, with an award date not separately stated, and runs from 5 June 2026 to 30 January 2027. Its value is £39,156.42 excluding VAT, or £46,987.70 including VAT. There was one completed lot and one active award covering the Tenable One foundation licence. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available procurement information does not set out a separate weighted quality or price breakdown.

This award demonstrates demand from Greater Manchester Combined Authority for continuous, estate-wide vulnerability management rather than a one-off security assessment. Suppliers competing for similar requirements should be able to provide or support a vulnerability-management platform that identifies and assesses weaknesses, helps customers prioritise and remediate them, and gives security teams ongoing visibility of risk. The capability needs to sit alongside an established annual penetration-testing programme, so credible providers should understand how continuous platform-based monitoring complements periodic testing. Businesses with experience supplying cyber-security software licences to public authorities, supporting implementation and user adoption, and explaining how their service strengthens an organisation’s overall security posture would be well placed when this requirement is next considered.
