## Summary

North Tyneside Council has completed a procurement process for the renewal of the Smoothwall Filter and Monitor - Band G services for the 2026-27 period. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically the security software package industry. The contract, valued at £45,808.28, was awarded to Converge Technology Solutions, trading as Stone Technologies Ltd. The procurement method was selective, being a call-off from a framework agreement. The delivery is set in the North East of the United Kingdom, with the contract running from 7th June 2026 to 6th June 2027. The procurement stage has progressed from tendering to awarding, with the award published on 9th July 2026.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses involved in software security solutions, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality filtering and monitoring services. Whilst the procurement was specific and selective, involving a call-off, it underscores the importance of being part of relevant framework agreements to secure similar opportunities. Large companies with the capacity to provide robust, tailored software packages would particularly benefit from contracts like this. The involvement of North Tyneside Council signals opportunities and potential partnerships in public sector IT services across the region.
