## Summary

Rutland County Council procured goods to refresh its ageing corporate core firewalls. The requirement is a corporate firewall replacement covering network infrastructure, with delivery in Rutland, United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation and the procurement concerned a single requirement rather than separate service lines. This is relevant to suppliers of enterprise firewall hardware, network security equipment and associated network infrastructure capable of supporting a public authority’s corporate network. The purpose was to replace ageing core firewall infrastructure, indicating a requirement centred on renewing essential network security equipment rather than delivering general IT consultancy or unrelated technology services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Rutland County Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and the single lot was completed. ATN CONSULTANCY LIMITED was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 11 May 2026 and runs from 11 May 2026 to 11 May 2031. Its value is £45,492.94 excluding VAT and £54,591.53 including VAT. The award covers the network infrastructure associated with the corporate firewall replacement. The recorded contract is active. The contracting route and outcome show that this requirement was bought without a competitive tender, with the selected supplier providing the council’s corporate firewall replacement solution.

For suppliers that did not win this contract, the procurement is evidence that Rutland County Council has a defined need for corporate core firewall renewal and associated network infrastructure. A credible future competitor would need to supply and support enterprise-grade firewall equipment, understand the replacement of ageing core infrastructure, and demonstrate the technical capability to integrate security appliances into a public authority’s corporate network. Relevant experience should cover network architecture, firewall deployment, migration planning, configuration, resilience and ongoing support. Suppliers should also be able to operate through a public-sector procurement route and present a proportionate solution for a below-threshold requirement of this scale. Specialist network security firms and established infrastructure providers are the closest fit.
