Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland, through the Common Services Agency, procured AppCheck web security vulnerability-scanning services for NHS Services Scotland. The requirement covered automated scanning of up to 75 web applications or websites, external infrastructure scanning across up to 500 IP addresses, and deployment of an internal web application scanning hub integrated with Azure. This is specialist cyber-security software and scanning provision, intended to help NHS Services Scotland assess web application and external infrastructure vulnerabilities. Delivery is in Scotland. The requirement was a single-lot service, rather than a purchase of general IT support or hardware.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Common Services Agency used an open procedure through the Software Value Added Reseller Services framework. Computacenter was selected as supplier; one bid was recorded. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and has a 12-month term, valued at £52,390. The award data does not state a separate award date. The requirement was awarded as one lot, with no option for additional purchases recorded. The process data does not describe award-scoring criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

For suppliers tracking future NHS Scotland cyber-security requirements, this award demonstrates demand for managed vulnerability scanning at a defined operational scale: multiple web applications, a sizeable external IP estate and an internally deployed scanning hub integrated with Azure. A credible competitor would need to combine web application and external infrastructure scanning capability with practical deployment and cloud-integration expertise, and be able to support NHS Services Scotland’s environment. The purchase was routed through the Software Value Added Reseller Services framework, so experience operating through that framework route would be commercially relevant. Computacenter, a large supplier, won the contract after a single bid was recorded; the outcome indicates that this specialist requirement was met through a framework reseller rather than a separately described standalone procurement.
