## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham bought GFI LanGuard software licences. The requirement is for subscription-based permissions covering the total number of network nodes, expressed as IP addresses or scanned hosts, that need to be audited. The software supports network auditing by enabling the buyer to scan and assess its target network environment. This is an IT software package procurement rather than a wider managed security or consultancy service. The buying organisation is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham, based at Police Headquarters in Durham. The requirement is therefore relevant to software publishers, authorised resellers and licensing specialists able to supply GFI LanGuard subscriptions for an organisational network audit.

This procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to PHOENIX SOFTWARE LIMITED. The route was a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, covering one lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 4 August 2026. The contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2027. Its value is £4,575 excluding VAT, or £5,490 including VAT. The contract is for GFI LanGuard licences and the award relates to the full requirement. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and confirms that this was a goods procurement for IT software. No competitive evaluation basis is stated because the contract was awarded without competition.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Durham’s policing organisation for subscription licensing that supports network vulnerability auditing across a defined number of IP addresses or scanned hosts. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be GFI LanGuard software publishers, authorised distributors, licensing partners and specialist IT resellers with direct access to the relevant subscription model. Credibility would depend on being able to identify the correct licence quantity for the target network, explain coverage clearly, and provide continuous licence administration throughout the required service term. Experience supplying public-sector or similarly security-sensitive organisations would help demonstrate reliable procurement, account management and software support. The requirement is focused on licensing and network-audit capability, rather than bespoke software development or general IT services.
