## Summary

The National Oceanography Centre has completed a procurement process for the renewal of Forescout Security Core licenses and associated services. This contract falls under the "Security software package" industry category and covers services across both NOC sites in Southampton, England, with the postal code SO14 3ZH. The procurement, which reached the award stage on 23rd June 2026, was conducted via a selective method as a call-off from the NHS SBS10256 Framework, ensuring the process adhered to a structured and competitive framework agreement. The contract period begins on 17th March 2026 and concludes on 16th March 2027, with Softcat PLC being awarded the contract for a value of £43,120.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in cybersecurity and IT services, particularly those capable of managing large-scale licensing and security software needs. Although the process is complete, it underscores the opportunities within framework agreements for businesses willing to engage in long-term service provision to public organisations. Large organisations similar to Softcat PLC, which have the knowledge and infrastructure to support such frameworks, would be particularly well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders, enabling them to expand their client base and showcase their expertise in the public sector.
