## Summary

Sheffield Hallam University procured continued access to Tenable security software for its vulnerability management programme. The requirement supports the protection of the university’s IT infrastructure by identifying, assessing and managing vulnerabilities across its network and systems. It covers Security Center Plus with 1,500 IP licences, 1,500 Tenable Agents included within those licences, one Nessus Manager licence and two Nessus Professional Feed licences. This is a data security software package and is classified as a goods requirement. Delivery is for the university’s operations in Sheffield. The buyer is Sheffield Hallam University, a public higher education institution. The requirement is therefore relevant to software vendors, authorised Tenable partners, cyber security resellers and managed security providers able to supply enterprise vulnerability-management tooling and associated licences.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition using an RFQ process. One completed lot was awarded to GAMMA NETWORK SOLUTIONS LIMITED. The award was made on 23 July 2026, and the contract was signed on 23 July 2026. The active contract runs from 28 July 2026 to 27 July 2029. Its value is £115,368.80 excluding VAT, or £138,442.56 including VAT. The contract covers the purchasing of Tenable security software. The recorded outcome is an active award and active contract, so this procurement is an established purchase rather than an opportunity to submit a bid. The evaluation basis and supplier eligibility requirements are not stated in the available procurement details.

This award demonstrates a university requirement for established vulnerability-management software at enterprise scale, with capacity for 1,500 IP licences and associated agent deployment. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need credible access to the Tenable product set, including Security Center Plus, Nessus Manager and Nessus Professional Feed licences. They would also need to understand how vulnerability identification, assessment and remediation support the protection of a higher education organisation’s network and systems. Relevant strengths include cyber security software supply, licensing management, implementation support and the ability to maintain reliable service across a substantial university IT estate. The award to a specialist SME shows that a smaller supplier can compete where it can provide the required products and security expertise through a focused delivery model.
