## Summary

HM Revenue & Customs procured a web access gateway service covering 92,000 Forcepoint Web Security licences together with enterprise support. The requirement is categorised as computer network services and falls within the broader services market. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The procurement is for an organisation-wide web security capability, combining access to Forcepoint licensing with ongoing enterprise-level support rather than a standalone software purchase. This is relevant to suppliers providing web security platforms, licence management, network protection services and associated technical support for a large public-sector estate. The named buyer is HM Revenue & Customs, based in London.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 5 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to XMA Limited on 21 August 2026 for £1,797,831.18 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 16 September 2026 to 15 September 2028. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The stated evaluation basis is reflected through the framework call-off route rather than a separately published criterion.

For suppliers tracking future HMRC requirements, this award demonstrates substantial demand for Forcepoint Web Security licensing and enterprise support at organisation-wide scale. A credible competitor would need to supply or manage a very large licence estate, maintain reliable web security operations and provide responsive enterprise support throughout the service period. Experience supporting complex public-sector or similarly large environments would help demonstrate delivery capacity, continuity and operational resilience. Suppliers should also understand how to compete through framework call-offs, including the commercial and compliance requirements imposed by the relevant framework. The award indicates that HMRC values an established, large-scale technology provider capable of combining product access with sustained technical support rather than a small, isolated software deployment.
