## Summary

Together Learning Trust procured firewall and web-filtering services to provide secure, reliable internet access across its relevant sites. The requirement covers protection for users, devices and services against cyber threats and inappropriate content, together with monitoring, alerting and reporting to support safeguarding. It also includes centralised management with flexibility for site-specific operational needs, protection for users and devices working remotely, and a solution that can scale with changes in pupil numbers, devices, bandwidth and the Trust’s estate. This is an IT services and software requirement, covering firewall, web-filtering, internet support and associated software utilities. Delivery relates to the Trust’s sites in Yorkshire and the Humber and to remote users and devices operating away from Trust premises.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to WCL (UK) Limited on 1 August 2026. The single lot was awarded through a selective, below-threshold route under a framework, without a competitive call-off. The awarded and contracted value is £54,248.52 excluding VAT, or £65,098.22 including VAT. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and runs from 7 August 2026 to 2 August 2029. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies software utilities and IT consulting, software development, internet and support services as the relevant classifications. The requirement was evaluated through the framework award route rather than a competitive tender process.

This outcome indicates demand from a multi-site education trust for managed cyber-security services that combine network protection, web filtering and internet access controls. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need to demonstrate dependable delivery across multiple sites, central administration and the ability to apply appropriate local policies where operational needs differ. Credible providers would also need to support safeguarding through effective monitoring, alerts and reporting, protect users and devices working remotely, and manage changing numbers of pupils, devices and bandwidth. Experience with education-sector environments and the practical requirements of safeguarding would strengthen a supplier’s position, alongside the operational capacity to provide reliable support throughout a multi-year service arrangement and maintain value for money as the Trust’s estate develops.
