## Summary

The Durham County Council has awarded the contract for the Syxsense Vulnerability Patch Management System under the competitive procedure with negotiation method. The contract has a total value of £82,620 and has been awarded to Syxsense. The procurement stage is now complete, with the tender period ending on November 21, 2023. The contract period is set to start on January 7, 2024, and end on January 6, 2025. The system falls under the security software package category and will be delivered to the North East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender for the Syxsense system presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in security software packages to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are particularly suited to provide services for this contract. Businesses interested in providing cloud-based vulnerability patch management solutions for endpoint security devices should consider engaging with Durham County Council to explore potential partnerships and business growth opportunities.

## Notice

Syxsense is a cloud-based vulnerability patch management system which allows for the Council's windows endpoint devices to receive 3rd party application critical security updates across the internet. It has been used to manage the Council's endpoint security posture for application-based vulnerabilities since 2019. It had been envisaged that some of the authorities existing new ICT systems could potentially be used to replace this system, however after thorough testing of these systems they are currently not fit for purpose and therefore the requirement for Syxsense remains.
