This tender is part of an open procurement method and encompasses services related to security software under the classification of CPV code 48730000. Bids must be submitted by noon on 15 September 2015, with the contract expected to be awarded by 26 October 2015, and operational commencement slated for 11 January 2016. The council's primary location for this procurement is Portsmouth, South East England, where they maintain an annual budget of approximately £30,000 for both corporate and school deployments. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for technology service providers, particularly those specialising in security software and solutions. Businesses that offer independent or combined proposals for security applications, particularly those with experience in educational settings, would be well-suited to compete. The potential contract has flexible duration options of either 12 months or up to 5 years, which could facilitate growth in services across various educational institutions, especially in light of the increasing demand for mobile technology and online learning tools in schools. ## Notice Portsmouth City Council, 'the Authority', is inviting tenders from suitably qualified suppliers and resellers to deliver a suite of security applications as described in the attached documents. The Authority's email, web filtering and endpoint security covered under this tender is currently delivered by Sophos in Corporate and School deployments. The licencing and support for the related hardware and software is due for renewal in January 2016 this tender has been issued therefore to ensure that this solution continues to represent 'best value'. Whilst the corporate requirements have remained largely unchanged over the term of our current contract, the requirements in schools has changed in line with the increased use of mobile technology and online learning so as a result we are interested in receiving responses from suppliers delivering independent solutions as well as combined proposals. It should also be noted that with many schools considering becoming academies where they have greater control over spending the future delivery of IT services by Portsmouth City Council is unpredictable we are therefore interested in receiving quotes for this element of the service for a 12 month as well as a full three year term The Authority aims to award the contract by 26 October 2015 with a subsequent commencement date of 11th January 2016. The Authorities annual budget for schools is in the region of PS10,000 per annum, whilst the corporate budget is in the region of PS20,000 per annum excluding support. Contract Period & Possible Extensions Schools: We are interested in receiving quotes for a 12 month contract and a 36 month contract. Corporate: The initial Contract period will be for 3 years with the possibility of extending the term by a further 2 years (up to a maximum total term of 5 years) in increments to be agreed, subject to the agreement and performance of both parties.
