## Summary

The procurement process spearheaded by Nottingham College pertains to the acquisition of Fortinet Firewall Network Security products, classified under the industry category of Networks (CPV: 32400000). Identified by tender ID NC/PROC/0472, the procurement belongs to the 'goods' category and was executed through a limited procurement method, specifically as an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to its coverage under the NHS SBS Framework Digital Workplace Solutions 2. The procurement, now in the 'Award' stage, concluded on 30th June 2026, with Softcat as the awarded supplier. This contract, valued at £325,000 GBP, addresses multiple regions across the UK, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the network security industry, particularly those specialising in firewall solutions. Companies that are part of, or can leverage frameworks similar to NHS SBS Framework may find themselves well-positioned to benefit from such direct awards. Although Softcat, a large-scale supplier, was awarded this contract, similar opportunities could emerge for agile businesses that can provide competitive, high-quality security solutions aligning with regional needs across the UK. Participation in these procurement processes can enhance a company's portfolio and market presence within the public sector.
