    Brief

    This is a 1-year support contract renewal for a Palo Alto Networks 5250 firewall appliance. The contract is being awarded directly to the existing supplier under the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solutions 2 Framework (SBS10510) without competitive tendering. This direct award is justified because switching suppliers would result in technical incompatibilities with the existing infrastructure, creating operational and maintenance difficulties. The supplier will provide ongoing technical support, maintenance, and updates for the Palo Alto 5250 during the contract period.
