UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The United Kingdom Sports Council procured one year of Check Point firewall licensing and Wingman technical support from Sep 2 Ltd. The requirement covers ongoing technical support and maintenance for the Council’s existing firewalls, which provide the first line of protection for its systems and infrastructure. This is an information technology services requirement delivered for UK Sport’s systems and infrastructure in the United Kingdom. It is suited to suppliers able to provide Check Point licensing alongside operational firewall support, maintenance and technical assistance for an established public-sector environment. The buyer is a central government public authority based in London, while the selected supplier is based in Leeds.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Sep 2 Ltd was selected for the single requirement at an awarded value of £31,100 excluding VAT, or £37,320 including VAT. The award date was 21 September 2026. The contract period runs from 22 September 2026 to 21 September 2027. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement for information technology support and licensing. The award is recorded as pending, with signature scheduled for 21 September 2026. The selected supplier is Sep 2 Ltd. The process was not divided into competing lots, and the award relates to the complete requirement.

For a future requirement from this buyer, credible suppliers would need demonstrable capability in Check Point firewall licensing and in supporting and maintaining live firewall estates. Relevant delivery experience would include providing a first line of defence for organisational systems and infrastructure, diagnosing and resolving technical issues, maintaining existing security controls and providing responsive ongoing support. Suppliers should be able to combine product licensing with a managed technical support service rather than offering licensing alone. The award also indicates that the buyer’s requirement is focused on continuity and support for an established firewall environment, so competitors should be able to work with existing configurations and infrastructure and provide dependable service throughout the operating period.
