## Summary

The London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham procured Palo Alto Azure firewall support and maintenance services. The requirement covers the support and upkeep of Palo Alto VM firewalls, within the broader fields of network and communications technology (CPV 32000000 and 32400000). Services are delivered in London, at the borough’s Town Hall area in W6 9JU. The buying organisation is the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham. This is a service requirement for an organisation operating and maintaining its own network security infrastructure, rather than a purchase of standalone equipment or general IT support.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 12 September 2025 to KHIPU Networks Ltd. It was run as a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded value is £56,934, with the contract running from 30 September 2025 to 29 September 2028. The original estimated procurement value was £47,444.85. The tender submission deadline was 12 September 2025 at 17:00. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The opportunity was not reserved for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lots or separately awarded suppliers are identified.

This award indicates established demand from the borough for specialist Palo Alto firewall support in an Azure environment over a multi-year service period. Competitors would need credible expertise in Palo Alto VM firewalls, Azure-hosted network security and the ongoing maintenance of firewall services, rather than only supplying hardware. They would also need the operational capacity to provide reliable support throughout a public-sector contract and to work through a framework call-off route. The selected supplier is a large network services business, suggesting that proven delivery capability, specialist technical resource and the ability to support a sustained managed service are relevant benchmarks when comparable requirements return to market.
