## Summary

The public procurement process involves NHS Digital, which is based in Leeds, England. The organisation is seeking to renew the "Nessus renewal 2019" contract for security software, with a total contract value of £56,000, allocated between its Corporate ICT and SSD teams. The renewal process is classified under services and follows a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. This contract was awarded on 26 March 2019, following a tender period that ended on 1 March 2019, and it is set to commence on 30 March 2019, lasting until 1 April 2020.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in security software services. Companies that can efficiently meet the requirements for licencing and support for Nessus are encouraged to participate. Specifically, firms with experience in delivering technology solutions to large organisations, particularly within the public sector, may find this procurement an advantageous venture. As the chosen supplier, Softcat PLC has demonstrated their capability, yet further competition remains possible in future procurements of similar contracts.

## Notice

NHS Digital consolidated three contracts for Nessus licencing & support across the Corporate ICT and SSD teams back in October 2017 into one contract. This contract is now up for renewal and there is no provision to extend the current contract. Corporate ICT & SSD still require the tool to be renewed however they have requested we renew for a further 12 months whilst the full management toolset review has been completed. In order to procure the renewal we propose to run a mini competition via the CCS Technology Products 2 framework. The value of the renewal is to be split between SSD (PS38k) & Corporate ICT (PS18k)
