## Summary

The UK Atomic Energy Authority procured Fortinet firewall products together with co-terminous licence renewals and support services. The requirement combines supply of network security equipment with ongoing technical support and renewal services, rather than a general IT support contract. Delivery is in the South East of England. The buying authority is based at Culham Science Centre in Oxfordshire, and the procurement relates to its Fortinet firewall estate. The listed service category is technical computer support services (CPV 72611000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Boxxe Ltd. The award was made on 12 October 2026, at a value of £345,000. The contract runs from 12 October 2026 to 12 October 2029. The original estimated value was also £345,000. The buyer used a restricted procedure, with submissions closing at noon on 9 October 2026. The requirement was treated as a single procurement, not divided into lots. The opportunity was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award information identifies the selected supplier and confirms the contract period and value.

For suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind, credibility rests on the ability to supply and maintain Fortinet firewall products while coordinating support and renewals so that service periods align. The award demonstrates that the UK Atomic Energy Authority buys a combined equipment-and-support package, rather than firewall hardware alone. A competitor would need to show strong Fortinet product knowledge, reliable technical support, and the operational capacity to manage an established security estate over a multi-year contract. The buyer’s use of a restricted procedure and its stated unsuitability for SMEs indicate that suppliers should be prepared to meet a selective qualification process and deliver at an organisational scale comparable with the incumbent, Boxxe Ltd.
