## Summary

The police and crime commissioner for Lincolnshire has completed the procurement process for the provision of Cisco Secure Firewalls, aimed at safeguarding the IT infrastructure of Lincolnshire Police DaDD. The contract, titled "Cisco Secure Firewalls," falls under the industry category of network operating system software package, with additional classifications covering local and wide area network services. This procurement was managed through a selective method, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £47,218.48, was awarded to Virgin Media Business Limited on 24 April 2026 and will run until 11 April 2027. The delivery is set for Lincoln, England, specifically at postal code LN2 2LT. The award notice was published on 27 April 2026, marking the completion of this stage.

This tender presents considerable business growth potential, especially for companies specialising in IT infrastructure security, network services, and software solutions. Given the nature of the contract and the selective procurement method, businesses with a solid track record in managing network security in policing or similar public service environments may find this opportunity advantageous. Large-scale enterprises, in particular, given the non-suitability criteria for SMEs and VCSEs, would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders with the Lincolnshire Police commissioner as the buying organisation. Virgin Media Business Limited’s involvement reflects the opportunity to partner with reputable organisations in delivering critical IT solutions within the public sector.
