## Summary

BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED procured network infrastructure and security services for London. The requirement covered a G Cloud 14 call-off agreement for Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls and a Precision AI Security Subscription Bundle. The bundle included firewall hardware, security software subscriptions, support services and professional services. The work falls within network infrastructure, security software and information technology services, with CPV codes 32424000, 48730000 and 72222300. This is a technology security infrastructure requirement rather than a general-purpose IT services contract. Suppliers would need to support delivery and service provision in London, including the supply and ongoing support of the specified Palo Alto Networks solution.

The procurement has been awarded following a G Cloud 14 call-off process. The contract was awarded to KHIPU Networks Ltd on 29 July 2026 for £350,834 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The procurement had an estimated value of £350,834. The recorded procurement category is services, and the procurement was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The requirement was evaluated through the call-off process; the published procurement method detail is recorded as “Other - Not Specified”. The tender closed for responses on 29 July 2026, and the procurement is complete.

This award demonstrates a substantial, multi-year requirement for enterprise network security delivered through a public-sector call-off route. Competitors considering similar work for BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED would need credible capability in Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls, Precision AI Security subscriptions, associated hardware, technical support and professional services. They would also need the operational capacity to combine product supply with implementation, configuration, maintenance and continuing customer support rather than provide software alone. The award to KHIPU Networks Ltd, recorded as a large organisation, indicates that scale and the ability to manage an integrated security technology service are relevant benchmarks. Experience delivering network infrastructure and information security services in London would strengthen a supplier’s position when this type of requirement is next reviewed.
