Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured a Tenable Nessus Professional scanning licence renewal for its information-security and vulnerability-assessment requirements. The purchase was made through the Software Value Added Reseller Services Framework Agreement (SP-21-034), so the relevant supply opportunity concerns licensed cybersecurity software rather than consultancy, implementation or construction work. The buying organisation is Perth & Kinross Council, based in Perth. The requirement falls within the broad category of information-technology software and related supplies. It is suited to suppliers able to provide, renew and support Tenable Nessus Professional licences through an established public-sector software-reseller route. The procurement covered a single requirement, with the licence associated with the council’s operational scanning activities.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective restricted procedure through the Software Value Added Reseller Services Framework Agreement, with one electronic bid recorded for the requirement. Computacenter (UK) Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and has an awarded contract value of £5,616.48 including the published currency of GBP. The award relates to the single licence-renewal requirement. The recorded procurement category is goods, with the classification covering information-technology software and related supplies. The outcome reflects a framework-based restricted competition rather than an open tender, and the award was made to the sole recorded bidder.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need to supply and renew Tenable Nessus Professional licences, understand vulnerability-scanning software and support the council’s information-security operations. Access to the relevant software value-added reseller framework, or a comparable route accepted by the buyer, would be important because this purchase was made through a framework rather than an open market exercise. Suppliers should be able to handle public-sector licensing, electronic tender submissions and the administrative requirements of a restricted competition. Experience supporting council or other public-sector customers with dependable software renewal, licence continuity and technically accurate product provision would strengthen a competing offer. Larger established resellers may be well placed, while specialist cybersecurity suppliers would need appropriate channel and framework capability.
