Tender description

The Council would like to consult the market through this PME prior to a tender potentially being issued over the next 6 months or so, regarding Third Party Patch Management. While Microsoft tools effectively manage Windows and Office updates, third-party applications normally require a separate management capability to ensure they are kept up-to-date. For some applications we use a third-party tool to automate the rollout of patches. This does not cover all applications so for some we manually download and apply the patches to the estate which can be time consuming and has operational overhead. This tool also does not cover server patching. The Council are seeking a third-party Patch Management software solution that integrates with Intune and works alongside Microsoft Configuration Manager to improve operational efficiency.

About the buyer

Leicestershire County Council buys as a local authority. Some contracts also run through frameworks set up by outside bodies, including ESPO, and suppliers apply to join those directly. The council itself trades nationally as ESPO, running framework agreements for public bodies nationwide. A two-year procurement plan on the council's open data site lists contracts still to come.

Over the past 5 years, most of Leicestershire County Council's contract awards have been in transport services, construction work and architectural and engineering services.
