PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lanarkshire procured Fortinet FortiClient VPN and zero-trust network access (ZTNA) subscription licences, with vendor support, for its secure remote access and endpoint security service. The scope includes centralised management and associated security functionality, supporting the health board’s remote access and network security requirements. The requirement is a software and related support service (CPV 72260000). It is structured as one call-off from the Software Value Added Reseller Services Framework. The delivery location is not identified by a place name in the procurement details, so the work is best understood as supporting NHS Lanarkshire’s service rather than tied to a stated site.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Computacenter (UK) Ltd. NHS Lanarkshire used a limited call-off procedure under an existing software reseller framework, without a prior competition notice. The contract was signed on 12 October 2026 and is active, with a value of £186,027.42. The procurement covers one lot. The contract period and award date are not stated. The call-off allows for additional licence volumes and associated support during the contract term, subject to business requirements and the contract terms. The published bid statistics report one bid for the lot. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are set out in the procurement details.

For suppliers competing when NHS Lanarkshire next buys this requirement, credibility will depend on the ability to supply Fortinet FortiClient VPN and ZTNA licences and provide the associated vendor support. Relevant capability includes supporting secure remote access and endpoint security, with centralised management and the related security functions. Suppliers should be able to handle additional licence volumes and support requirements as the buyer’s business needs change. This purchase was made through a software value-added reseller framework, so framework appointment and the ability to fulfil a call-off are commercially relevant routes to this buyer. The award went to a large supplier, and the recorded bid statistics show a single bidder; these facts indicate the route and supplier profile in this procurement, not a formal threshold for future participation.
