## Summary

The Student Loans Company, a central government public authority based in Darlington, is the buying organisation for a completed public procurement process titled "Trend Micro Zero Trust Secure Access." The tender, which focused on IT services including consulting, software development, and support, was facilitated under a limited procurement method with below-threshold competition. The award stage concluded on 29 April 2025 with a contract awarded to Softcat PLC, a large supplier located in Marlow, with the contract term set from 9 May 2025 to 8 May 2027.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in innovative cybersecurity solutions, especially those capable of implementing zero trust network security frameworks. While this opportunity has been awarded, similar tenders may arise, presenting opportunities for IT service providers with a focus on secure network architecture. Companies aiming to expand their portfolio in the public sector or increase their market presence in government contracts should consider engaging in such processes, particularly those with experience in complex IT service provision and government contract compliance.

## Notice

Zero trust (ZT) is an architectural approach and goal for network security that assumes that every transaction, entity, and identity is untrusted until trust is established and maintained over time. ZT strategies contrast with the legacy view that a network is secure unless security systems identify a breach.
