Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire County Council procured Tenable software licences and related software services to cover 5,000 assets. The requirement is for cybersecurity asset-monitoring or vulnerability-management licensing and associated software-related support, rather than physical equipment or construction. Delivery is for activity across the United Kingdom, with the council based in Gloucester. The procurement was classified as software-related services. The council is the public-sector buyer and the selected supplier is Insight Direct UK, a large technology supplier based in Sheffield. The requirement relates to one service package covering the Tenable licence provision. Businesses operating in cybersecurity software licensing, enterprise technology supply or related software services would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to support a substantial public-sector asset estate.

The procurement has been awarded: Gloucestershire County Council selected Insight Direct UK, following a restricted procedure using the selective procurement method. Three bids were recorded. Evaluation was based on price. The award is active and the associated contract is active. The contract was signed on 1 August 2026 and has a value of £134,962.32. Its planned duration is 360 days, with no renewal or additional purchase option recorded. Bids were submitted in writing in English, and a fee applied for access to documents. The tender deadline was 20 August 2026. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, although an active award and active contract are also recorded against it; the award and contract entries identify Insight Direct UK as the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from a county council for enterprise Tenable licensing covering 5,000 assets, delivered through a formal restricted procurement route and assessed on price. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply Tenable licences at this scale, understand licensing across a sizeable public-sector technology estate and provide the associated software-related services. Strong commercial positioning would depend on competitive pricing, accurate asset-volume management and the operational capability to support the council’s cybersecurity requirements. Relevant suppliers are likely to include established cybersecurity licensing providers, technology resellers and software-service businesses with experience of selling to UK public authorities and handling written tender submissions.
