## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has completed a procurement process for the "Palo Alto Software VM Series Bundle," which falls under the software package and information systems category. The contract, valued at £444,968, will provide a 3-year Palo Alto Enterprise License Agreement to support the DWP’s firewall devices in both cloud and on-premise environments. The procurement method used was selective, with a contract period spanning from 4th September 2019 to 3rd September 2022. The award date was recorded on 2nd October 2019, and the procurement engaged firms capable of delivering comprehensive software solutions.

This tender presents growth opportunities specifically for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) focused on software services and cybersecurity solutions. Businesses that excel in cloud services and cybersecurity integration would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the DWP prioritises providers who can deliver value for taxpayers through innovative licensing solutions. Engaging with DWP's digital transformation initiatives can open pathways for collaboration in future technology contracts.

## Notice

DWP has a Palo Alto firewall and firewall management devices in OPH, AWS and Azure cloud service environments, therefore there is a requirement for a 3-year Palo Alto Enterprise License Agreement that will provide best value to the tax payer and support these devices and future demand over the 3-year period. The purchase of an ELA supports DWP Digital cloud first strategy as it allows DWP to License Palo Alto device functionality in OPH and the cloud in a more cost effective way.
