UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Pembrokeshire County Council procured a web-filtering platform for schools in Pembrokeshire. The requirement is classified as goods and covers software packages and information systems. The platform is intended to support web filtering across the council’s schools, making this relevant to suppliers of education-sector internet safety, content filtering and network protection software. Delivery is in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The purchasing organisation is Pembrokeshire County Council, a sub-central public authority. The awarded supplier is PSBA, a large organisation, indicating that the requirement was fulfilled by a sizeable technology or managed-services provider able to supply and support a school-focused web-filtering platform. The procurement concerned one requirement rather than a wider group of separately described goods or services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct procedure below the applicable threshold, without competition. One contract was awarded to PSBA. The award was for £120,709.31 excluding VAT, or £144,851.17 including VAT. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The contract is active. The process used one lot, which is complete. The published outcome therefore records a concluded purchasing decision rather than an invitation for suppliers to submit bids. The route used by the council was a below-threshold direct award without competition, rather than an open or selective tender. The requirement was evaluated through that direct-award route.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for school web-filtering software and information systems within Pembrokeshire County Council. Businesses well placed for a future requirement would need a credible platform for filtering and controlling web access in education settings, with the technical capability to support multiple schools and public-sector operational needs. Relevant strengths would include dependable software delivery, implementation and ongoing support, together with experience of protecting pupils and managing acceptable internet access in a school environment. A supplier competing for a similar requirement would also need the organisational capacity to deliver a council-wide service and demonstrate that its platform can be maintained throughout a multi-year contract. PSBA’s large-organisation scale shows that capacity was relevant to the selected solution.
