## Summary

The UK SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LIMITED, acting as the buyer, has completed a procurement process for the "Sophos Re-procurement" project in the IT services category. The tender, with a total value of £99,000, followed a direct procurement method using a Single tender action below the threshold approach. The contract period is set to start on 20th August 2024 and end on 19th August 2025. The procurement was awarded to Boxxe Ltd, a large-scale supplier based in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the IT services sector, specifically those engaged in consulting, software development, and Internet support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this tender particularly suitable for participation. Given the nature of the project and the direct procurement method employed, businesses with expertise in providing efficient and bespoke solutions in cybersecurity IT services are well-placed to compete for this contract and potentially expand their business portfolio with UK SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LIMITED.

## Notice

Sophos is recognised as the market leader in this domain, providing advanced tools that enable centralised monitoring of multiple site locations. Our reliance on their comprehensive solutions ensures efficient and timely responses to cybersecurity incidents. The current competitive landscape lacks. Furthermore, engaging a new reseller and trying to configure the current arrangement with a new provider would leave the organisation open to risk of system failure at a critical transition point and would remove the assurance of continued working functionality of a key system in the business as well as additional unknown factors that could introduce significant delays to the day to day running of the solution.
