## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by NHS Highland, involves the renewal of the Varonis Data Security Platform Subscription, a service aimed at safeguarding sensitive organisational data. NHS Highland, based in Inverness, is part of the UK's national health system and is responsible for this contract, ensuring continuous cloud-based enterprise-grade data security. The tender falls under the health industry category and is located in the UKM6 region. This open procedure procurement has successfully moved to the award stage, with the contract being signed on 22 January 2026, and it will commence on 1 April 2026. The agreement is structured under the Scottish Government SVAR Framework and will last for three years with a contract value of £388,578.47. Computacenter (UK) Ltd serves as the supplier for this strategic transition from an on-premise to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model.

The awarded contract for the Varonis Data Security Platform offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in cybersecurity and IT services, particularly those specialising in cloud-based data security solutions. Although a large supplier, Computacenter (UK) Ltd, was awarded the contract, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with innovative offerings in similar fields could find potential collaborative opportunities in future procurements. Businesses that focus on cybersecurity, software solutions, and data governance, especially those aligned with enterprise-scale requirements, are well-suited to compete in similar tenders as public organisations increasingly seek robust solutions to manage and protect data in a rapidly evolving digital environment.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The HH156-26-SP Varonis Data Security Platform Subscription is a multi-year renewal of NHS Highland's enterprise data-security tooling under the Scottish Government SVAR Framework. The subscription enables NHS Highland to maintain continuous protection, monitoring, and governance over unstructured data held across its digital environment. This renewal also marks a transition from the legacy self-hosted model to Varonis' Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery, following the vendor's move to discontinue on-premise support. The Varonis platform provides advanced capabilities for safeguarding sensitive information, including behavioural analytics, file-system monitoring, insider-threat detection, permissions auditing, risk scoring, and rapid investigation tooling. These functions are essential for meeting NHS Highland's information-governance obligations, particularly around patient confidentiality, incident response, and regulatory compliance. By utilising Varonis' SaaS service model, the organisation benefits from continuous updates, strengthened security baselines, reduced infrastructure overheads, and improved overall resilience. This early renewal was required to ensure continuity of service and to guarantee that NHS Highland's migration path to the SaaS platform could proceed without interruption. Although the renewal is executed in advance, the financial schedule remains unchanged, with invoicing continuing on the same annual cycle. The subscription covers all required Varonis modules and collector licences, providing consistent coverage across the environment. Contractually, the call-off is issued under the SVAR framework, with Computacenter acting as the contracted reseller. The agreement runs for a three-year term starting 1 April 2026, ensuring long-term stability, predictable budgeting, and alignment with NHS Highland's broader cybersecurity roadmap. It also simplifies future change control by consolidating licensing, support, and platform services into a single structured contract vehicle. Overall, the Varonis Data Security Platform Subscription ensures that NHS Highland maintains the enterprise-grade data-security capabilities needed to protect critical information assets, detect anomalies early, and meet statutory and organisational responsibilities in an increasingly complex cyber-risk landscape.
