Summary of the contracting process

Denbighshire County Council initiated an open procurement process for the provision of Checkpoint Firewall Infrastructure Licensing and Support, specifically aimed at maintaining and extending their existing Checkpoint Firewalls as their current licensing and support contract expires in March 2025. This procurement, categorised under services within the IT industry and taking place in Denbighshire (UKL13), was conducted using an open procedure. Key dates include the original tender publication on 20 January 2025 with a submission deadline on 19 February 2025. Although the tender was active during the earlier stages, it was ultimately cancelled, and no successful awards were made.

This procurement opportunity aimed to enable businesses in the IT services domain, particularly those with capabilities in firewall infrastructure support and licensing, to grow by providing solutions to a regional authority. While the procedure was open and accessible via electronic submission, businesses with expertise in delivering quality licensing and support services were well-suited to compete, as the contract's award criteria heavily emphasised both price (70%) and service quality (24%). Although the tender was cancelled, such opportunities highlight the demand for specialised IT services in local government sectors which can be addressed by SMEs equipped to meet these requirements.
