Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Haringey procured maintenance for Palo Alto firewall infrastructure and software updates. The service provides perimeter security for the council network and remote access for staff. It supports the council’s technology strategy, including planned virtualisation, data-centre development and zero-trust network technology. The work is categorised as information technology software maintenance and is delivered across England. The requirement was structured as a single package covering the firewall hardware maintenance and software update service. It is relevant to suppliers with capability in Palo Alto firewall support, enterprise network security, remote-access infrastructure and associated software maintenance for a local authority environment. The requirement also indicates a need to support wider infrastructure change rather than provide an isolated repair or one-off update.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. CDW LTD was selected for the requirement, with one bid recorded. The contract was awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, using the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products and Associated Services 2 Framework, RM6098, Lot 3 (Software). The stated rationale was that technical reasons meant the services could be provided only by a particular economic operator. Evaluation was based on price. The contract value is £229,435.11 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026. The single lot is marked as cancelled, although an active award and active contract are recorded against it. The tender status is complete.

This outcome shows established council demand for a substantial, managed Palo Alto security infrastructure service rather than a simple equipment purchase. Competitors seeking similar work from the London Borough of Haringey would need demonstrable expertise in Palo Alto firewall hardware maintenance, software updating, perimeter defence and secure remote access for staff. Credibility would also depend on supporting public-sector network environments and aligning technical services with programmes such as virtualisation, data-centre development and zero-trust architecture. The procurement route indicates that framework access is commercially important: suppliers should understand call-off arrangements under relevant technology products and services frameworks, particularly software-related lots. A capable competitor would therefore combine manufacturer-specific technical competence, reliable maintenance delivery and experience integrating firewall services into broader council technology strategies.
