## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Northumbria has completed a procurement process for firewall hardware and support, with Switchshop Limited awarded the contract. The procurement, categorised under "goods" and part of the office and computing machinery industry, was carried out using a limited competition method as it was below the threshold. This contract covers multiple regions across the United Kingdom, and the tender was completed with an award on 13th November 2025. The contract, having started on 24th October 2025, is set to run until 23rd October 2030 with a gross value of £206,653.20.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for technology and cybersecurity firms that specialise in hardware and support services. Businesses capable of delivering office and computing machinery and equipment, especially those that can handle region-wide deployments, are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. As this procurement was conducted under limited competition, it indicates opportunities for smaller enterprises that can engage in niche supply avenues where specialised expertise or a tailored solution is required.
