Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland), through NHS National Services Scotland, bought renewal of the annual licences, support and maintenance for Check Point firewalls procured in 2024. The service is intended to keep those firewalls operating and provide ongoing cyber security protection. This is a software value-added reseller requirement, rather than a purchase of new firewall equipment. The procurement is classified as services (CPV 72000000). The work is for the buyer’s firewall estate in Scotland; Edinburgh is the buyer’s location.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Computacenter. It was conducted as an open procedure through a call-off from the Software Value Added Reseller Services framework. The single lot covers the firewall licence renewals, support and maintenance. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and is active for a 12-month term, with an awarded value of £136,456. One bid was recorded. The award date is not stated in the available process information, so the contract signing date is the dated outcome available. The requirement is evaluated and awarded; no detailed evaluation criteria are provided.

This award shows recurring demand from PSD Scotland for reseller-led renewal and support of Check Point firewall licences, rather than a one-off hardware supply. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to resell the relevant Check Point licences and coordinate their renewal, while providing support and maintenance that keeps the buyer’s existing firewall estate operating. Experience delivering comparable cyber security infrastructure support for a public-sector customer would be relevant. The awarded supplier was a large business, and the contract covered a single buyer requirement over a 12-month service term. The route used was a call-off from the Software Value Added Reseller Services framework, so framework access and the ability to meet its call-off requirements would be important to competing for this buyer’s similar work. No specific certifications or technical staffing requirements are stated.
