Summary of the contracting process

South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust procured Sophos Intercept X Advanced licences, a software and information-systems requirement for endpoint security. The purchase supports the Trust’s need to protect its operational and corporate devices using Sophos security technology. The buyer is based in Exeter and the contracted software is for use in the United Kingdom. This is a goods procurement rather than a works or consultancy assignment, so it is relevant to software vendors, authorised Sophos partners, licensing resellers and cyber-security providers able to supply enterprise endpoint-protection licences to an NHS organisation. The requirement is focused on supplying the named Sophos product, rather than delivering a broad information-technology transformation programme or general cyber-security service.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The tender was evaluated through a limited procedure, with one completed lot. Cyberlab Security Limited was awarded the contract on 30 July 2026. The active contract runs from 12 August 2026 to 11 August 2029. Its value is £21,525.88 excluding VAT and £25,831.06 including VAT. The award covers the Sophos Intercept X Advanced licences associated with the single lot. South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust is the buyer. The award is active and the contract is active, so this procurement records an established supplier relationship rather than an opportunity to submit a bid for the current requirement.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS demand for Sophos Intercept X Advanced licensing at a modest, multi-year scale. Suppliers best placed to compete for a comparable requirement would need reliable access to the specified Sophos product, the ability to provide correctly scoped licence quantities and renewals, and experience supplying cyber-security software to a public-sector organisation. Credibility would also depend on handling procurement through a limited-competition route, responding clearly to a focused product requirement and supporting the buyer throughout the licence term. Cyber-security resellers, Sophos partners and software licensing specialists can use this procurement as evidence of the Trust’s preference for a named endpoint-security platform rather than an open-ended consultancy engagement.
