## Summary

The procurement process involves City College Plymouth, seeking to enhance its firewall solution through an open tender method. This project, titled "Firewall Solution", falls under the classification of computer equipment and supplies, with a contract period commencing on 1st August 2018 and concluding on 31st July 2021. The total anticipated value of the contract is £35,000 over three years. The tender was published on 15th June 2018, and the submission deadline was set for 28th June 2018. This procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with the contract awarded to ADVATEK (UK) LIMITED on 6th August 2018.

The three-year contract duration allows companies to not only secure steady revenue but also potentially expand their service offerings within the educational sector.
