## Summary

The Scottish Government has successfully completed a procurement process for a managed WAF DDoS protection service, titled "WAF DDoS Protection for ARE." This contract falls under the industry category of services and was initiated through an open tendering process. The award was made to the supplier CYPHRA, with the contract valued at £82,215.78, which was signed on 20th December 2019. The procurement took place in Edinburgh, UK, and the end product aims to provide 24/7 protection for a selection of Fully Domain Qualified Names (FDQNs).

This tender presents significant business opportunities for companies in the IT and cybersecurity sectors, particularly those specialising in web application firewalls and DDoS mitigation services.

The fact that only one bid was submitted in this instance highlights the potential for niche providers to secure contracts directly with central government bodies.
