Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham bought support and maintenance for its Check Point firewall. This is a software support service intended to maintain the firewall. The stated delivery area is Tees Valley and Durham.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded to Insight Direct (UK) Limited through the YatH Hardware Framework Agreement, without a prior open competition. Price was the stated award criterion. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026 and is valued at £138,913.38.

The award indicates demand from Durham’s police authority for ongoing support and maintenance of Check Point firewall technology. Suppliers looking to compete for this requirement in future would need to demonstrate the ability to support and maintain Check Point firewall systems, and to deliver work across Tees Valley and Durham. The buyer used its YatH Hardware Framework Agreement and selected on price, so familiarity with that purchasing route and competitive pricing would be relevant.
