## Summary

The Pension Protection Fund has completed the procurement process for a Static Application Security Testing (SAST) Tool, aiming to enhance security within their development work. This contract, which has a total value of £232,305, was awarded on 17 August 2020 and is set to run for an initial term of two years until 15 November 2022, with the possibility of two additional 12-month extensions. The procurement method followed was selective, using a call-off from a framework agreement, and the services are categorised under software programming and consultancy services, primarily located in London, United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software security and consultancy services, particularly those that can deliver innovative solutions for automated scanning of source code. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-placed to compete for such contracts, which are designed to improve security within various organisations. Companies with expertise in development and security best practices will find the requirements align well with their offerings, opening avenues for collaboration and further growth in this vital industry sector.

## Notice

A SAST tool conducts automated scanning of source code to look for security vulnerabilities, and in some cases a failure to follow coding best-practices. This allows for a defence-in-depth model, so that the PPF can gain assurance around development work undertaken internally. This contract has an initial term of two years, with two 12-month extension options. The overall contract value (including the two extension options) is PS232,305 ($310,500).
