## Summary

NHS Shared Business Services has completed a tender for the supply of Cisco Secure Firewalls as part of a hardware refresh programme. The contract, titled "Cisco Firewalls - SBS24-044", falls under the industry category of "License management software package" and covers a substantial procurement of 4 Cisco 3140 firewalls, associated power supply units, licences, and support services. The procurement process was selective and executed through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period starts on 1st November 2024 and ends on 31st October 2027. Key delivery locations include the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories, Europe, Isle of Man, and other parts of the world, with a total contract value of £329,526.56.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in IT hardware supply, specialising in network security solutions, and those capable of providing long-term support services. Large-scale enterprises, particularly those with the capability to deliver robust, high-availability firewall solutions and comprehensive software licensing, will find themselves well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. Businesses that can offer value-added services such as ongoing technical support and threat subscriptions, as outlined in this contract, have a competitive edge in securing such government contracts.

## Notice

NECS (North of England Care Support) has a requirement to purchase and be supplied with Cisco Secure Firewalls as part of their hardware refresh program. NECS (North of England Care Support) requires the costs for 4 Cisco 3140 firewalls (Two HA Pairs) with dual PSUs (power supply units), 3 years 8x5xNBD support and 3 years threat subscription as per the below Cisco part numbers and quantities. We have specified 2 HA bundles as we believe this is the best value way to procure the 4 firewalls we need. In addition, NECS requires 35,000 Cisco AnyConnect Plus licenses for 3 years.
