Sheffield City Council awarded a contract to Phoenix Software Ltd for the supply of Sophos antivirus software to participating schools.

The software was purchased by the Council's Traded Services team (TST) and managed for schools in a bulk 3-year purchase.

TST collected device and server counts from each school, then ordered from the supplier (reseller).

This approach created economies of scale discounts passed to schools, minus a small contribution for TST resources.

The contract was awarded on 11/03/2024 as a Call Off from the KCS framework reference Y20011, using Key Criteria Search, resulting in a single supplier.

The contract value was £148,866.
