## Summary

The Coventry University has initiated a procurement process for an "Anti Virus / Anti Malware Solution for Salesforce," aimed at enhancing the security of their upcoming Salesforce implementation for student enrolment management. This procurement falls under the "goods" category within the software and information systems industry. The procurement is currently in the Award stage, with the contract awarded to Softcat PLC on 10 February 2022, commencing on the same date and extending until 9 February 2025. The tender was published on 16 November 2021, and interested suppliers could participate until the tender period ended on 30 November 2021. This process, governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2015, is a selective procurement method under a framework agreement administered by the Southern East Universities Purchasing Consortium.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for SMEs specializing in software solutions, particularly those with capabilities in virus and malware protection technologies. Businesses well-equipped to deliver integrated security solutions tailored for Salesforce instances will find this contract particularly relevant. As Coventry University looks to ensure secure document handling for students and staff on their platform, companies providing such IT security services may leverage this framework agreement to expand their client base and enhance their market presence in the education sector.

## Notice

The University is in the process of rolling out a Salesforce implementation to manage student enrolment and provide ongoing support to students. At various stages throughout the process users, be they applicants, students or members of staff will upload documents. This can be through the core Salesforce platform as well as portals built on Experience cloud. This presents a risk in terms of infected files (virus or malware) being deliberately or accidentally distributed through the platform against which Salesforce has no inbuilt native protection. To mitigate this risk the University needs to procure an anti-virus / malware solution to integrate into our Salesforce instances. This is a competitive procurement, conducted as a further competition against the Software Licence Reseller Agreement (SLRA); Lot 4 - Other which is run by the Southern East Universities Purchasing Consortium (SUPC). This Agreement has been awarded under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 and only suppliers on Lot 4 of the aforementioned agreement are permitted to participate in this procurement process.
