Firewall Tenders

Search public and private portals for live firewall notices, or move earlier. On Stotles, you can read buyers' IT security strategy documents and budget papers, spot a firewall refresh or SASE rollout before the tender opens, and build a bid around it rather than reacting to a closing date. See what is open now, then track the buyers behind it.

Both, and it pays to check which you're looking at. Plenty of notices are pure firewall work: hardware refreshes, Palo Alto or Fortinet licence renewals, managed firewall services. Others fold firewall provision into a broader managed IT service, an ICT dynamic market, or a cyber security framework lot, so the firewall line sits a few paragraphs into a much larger scope. Read past the title before ruling a notice in or out.

Firewall notices are most commonly filed under 32424000 (Network infrastructure), 48732000 (Data security software package), 48730000 (Security software package) and 72700000 (Computer network services). None of these are unique to firewalls, since buyers file the surrounding hardware and support under the same codes, so they're a starting point for browsing rather than a precise filter.

Crown Commercial Service's G-Cloud is the route most reused across the sample, with buyers calling off Palo Alto, Fortinet and Check Point kit through it. NHS bodies lean on the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solutions framework for the same kind of call-off. Plenty of firewall notices are also let as one-off direct awards outside any framework, particularly for smaller trusts, colleges and housing associations.

Stotles pulls from 100+ portals across the UK and Ireland, so a new notice from a council, NHS trust or university shows up alongside the national portals rather than after them. Platform-wide, 2 notices were added last week, and firewall-specific results refresh on the same schedule.
