## Summary

The University of Derby has awarded a contract for Qualys vulnerability scanning services to Qualys Ltd. The tender, classified under "Software package and information systems" with CPV code 48000000, pertains to the provision of vulnerability scanning for the University’s cloud and on-premises servers and infrastructure. This contract, valued at £258,540.35, commenced on 29 September 2024 and will run until 28 September 2027. The procurement was conducted via a Single Tender Action method, suitable for SMEs but not VCSEs, and the procurement process is now in the award stage.

This contract presents a substantial business opportunity within the software and information systems sector. Companies specialising in IT security services, particularly those offering vulnerability scanning, will find this contract highly relevant. Since the procurement was tailored for SMEs, smaller businesses with the capacity to manage both cloud-based and on-premises security solutions would be well-suited to deliver on such contracts and bolster their portfolio and market presence by securing similar future tenders.
