This tender, titled "Anti Malware," falls under the software package and information systems industry category and is located in Swindon, United Kingdom. The procurement method is open, with an end date for submissions on 10 July 2018. The contract period is set to commence on 31 July 2018 and will last until 31 July 2021, providing a sizeable window for service provision. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in virus protection software and related IT services, particularly those that can offer innovative anti-malware solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing antivirus products. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete for this contract, given the requirement for collaborative service delivery within the cloud-first strategy of Historic England. Businesses interested in pursuing this opportunity should ensure they register to express interest and can access the necessary documentation to participate in the tendering process. ## Notice Historic England currently operates using a defense-in-depth model for network and device security. We have determined that we have gaps in the coverage in that we do not run a zero-day anti-malware service for end-user devices and servers. The anti-virus product that we use may provide insufficient protection against evolving variants and zero-day threats. We are not planning on removing or changing the existing anti-virus product, but are seeking a complimentary solution to plug this gap. We have therefore resolved to tender for, and purchase an anti-malware service as detailed below. It is expected that this anti-malware service will be in conformity to our general strategy of cloud-first provision. We currently use Microsoft System Centre Endpoint Protection as our anti-virus solution and the new anti-malware service must operate cleanly and in concert with the existing anti-virus service.
