## Summary

Kirklees Council recently completed a public procurement process for the "Reverse Proxy" project, aimed at acquiring FortiWeb virtual appliance licences. The process, categorised under IT services (consulting, software development, internet, and support), was conducted through a restricted procedure, indicating a selective procurement method. The tender period concluded on 9 January 2025, with the contract period initially spanning 10-11 January 2025. The project is situated in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom, further underpinning the importance of the localised expertise of suppliers.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, specifically those with capabilities in providing cybersecurity solutions like virtual appliance licences. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relevant experience are particularly well-suited to compete due to the suitability criteria outlined by Kirklees Council. Winning such contracts can facilitate substantial business growth, increased market visibility, and potential for future contracts in the public sector. The award was granted to The Networking People, highlighting the council’s trust in established suppliers for delivering crucial IT infrastructure.
