## Summary

Rotherham Borough Council has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Third Party Patch Management" to enhance its IT infrastructure's cybersecurity. The council, based in Rotherham, is a sub-central government authority responsible for maintaining a secure and compliant IT environment. The tender falls under the industry category of "Software package and information systems" and is designated for the region UKE31 in the United Kingdom. The procurement process involved the identification of security vulnerabilities necessitating a robust patch-management solution integrated with existing systems. The contract was awarded on 19th February 2026, and it covers a period from 24th February 2026 to 23rd February 2028, with a total value of £96,720.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT solutions, particularly those offering software packages and information systems. Companies like NETWORK INTEGRATION TECHNOLOGIES LTD, who were successful in this bid, demonstrate the competitive edge required to secure such contracts. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) well-versed in cybersecurity and IT infrastructure support can leverage their expertise to participate in similar procurements. This contract underlines the significance of innovation in cyber threat management and the broad market for patch management solutions within government bodies.

## Notice

The Council must maintain a secure, compliant, and up-to-date IT infrastructure to mitigate cyber security risks and support its ongoing assurance obligations. Routine vulnerability scanning has identified a range of security vulnerabilities that require timely, consistent, and auditable remediation. The Council therefore requires a patch-management solution that integrates effectively with its existing vulnerability scanning arrangements, supports a distributed workforce, and reduces manual administrative effort, thereby strengthening the Council's overall cyber security posture.
