## Summary

London Metropolitan University, a public authority classified under sub-central government, spearheaded a procurement process titled "Palo Alto Firewall Renewal" in London, United Kingdom. This process, categorised under the goods industry, involved the renewal of support and licencing for an existing firewall for 12 months. The procurement, initiated on a direct method below the threshold without competition, has reached the award and contract stages. The contract was signed and commenced on 1st August 2025, lasting until 31st July 2026, with a total gross value of £64,552.48.

This tender provides a valuable opportunity for businesses in the security software industry, particularly those specialising in support and licencing services. Given the direct procurement method employed by the university, businesses that are capable of delivering high-quality firewall solutions efficiently could find significant growth potential, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like KHIPU Networks Limited, which successfully secured the contract. Adequately equipped technology firms focusing on networking and cyber security solutions are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities in the future.
