## Summary

The National Archives Public Record Office is seeking suppliers for a contract titled "Secure Gateway and VPN," aimed at providing IT services, including a secure Internet gateway and a VPN remote access solution. Located in Richmond, England, this procurement is currently at the award stage, with the contract having an estimated value of £125,961. The tender period concluded on 14th March 2017, and the contract is set to run from 17th March 2017 until 16th March 2020. The procurement method employed is a restricted procedure under the selective procurement approach.

This opportunity is particularly well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in IT services related to web and email security, as well as VPN solutions.

Initially this will be for up to 700 email users, and up to 1000 web users. The second key requirement is for a VPN remote access solution: this should allow up to 700 laptops to be able to access the TNA staff infrastructure from anywhere with an Internet connection.
