Firewall Support and Maintenance

The University of Chichester is seeking suppliers who have the capability to provide the next iteration of the University's Firewall. The current provision is based on Palo Alto, and although this is not a given, we anticipate that new services must be able to integrate seamlessly with our estate and various interconnected services. Our services are protected by (and need to be compliant with) common security technologies and methods, including delineated VLANs, Role Based Access, Insider Protection / Firewalling, Multi Factor Authentication, Mobile Device Management and a Virtual Private Network for off-site access. Our infrastructure uses a private dark fibre to connect our two data centres, (one on each of the Chichester and Bognor Regis Campuses) each with a JISC internet connection. The University currently employs two Palo Alto PA-3250 firewalls, with one located on each of its campuses. They leverage Application Filtering, Threat Protection, Cloud based malware protection, SSL decryption and inspection, anti-virus protection, client VPN and user identification to maintain a strong network perimeter for the University's sensitive data. The University is amongst the first of HEIs to achieve institution wide ISO27001, and also has Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus Accreditation, where this is required (with additional security protocols) for Defence Contactor work. We would expect our Firewall partners to embrace these standards, to recognise their role in our Information Security Management System (ISMS) and to work collaboratively with our excellent and highly committed team to maintain, enhance and constantly improve our Security Operations Centre. The University cannot contemplate business interruption - all systems operate 24/7/365. Any new or altered system(s) must be familiar and proven in the HEI sector and must be capable of seamless implementation. The University has limited opportunity to disrupt its workflows, as recruitment, retention, and the cycle of the academic year leaves no part of the year when a system can be taken off-line to be replaced, in part or in full. Full details of our requirements are available in the tender documents. All tender documents, Questions and Answers are open to all bidders. Please send your completed submission to the University by the closing date of 12th December 2024 at 17:00, (5pm) to [email protected]. Please note, we do not accept submissions via file transfer sites. [email protected] accepts emails and attachments of up to 35MB and it is acceptable to submit in more than one email.

Cyber Security SIEM Provision - Request for Information

The University of Manchester is driving cyber security excellence through growth and new change initiatives to provide a more secure and well-informed landscape for students, colleagues and the community. The aim is a frictionless security service that empowers and enables the ground-breaking research achieved within the University. This request for information will be used to shortlist suppliers for a subsequent closed procurement exercise. The University of Manchester no longer meets the criteria of a 'body governed by public law' and is therefore not considered a contracting authority for the purposes of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and/or any replacement legislation. As a result, the University of Manchester will no longer be subject to the regime contained in The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and/or any replacement legislation with effect from 1 August 2023. However, as an institution founded for the public good, an exempt charity and an organization in receipt of public funds, the University has a duty to manage expenditure in an appropriate manner and aims to deliver value for money across its non-pay spend by adhering to good procurement practice' Additional information: Information, formalities and necessary requirements to be met will be set out in the procurement documents, all of which are freely available via the University's procurement portal In-Tend - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/manchesteruniversity Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No

Digital Preservation Systems DPS

The Dynamic Purchasing System is being established by Jisc to provide Digital Preservation System solutions to institutions. Institutions generate, consume and keep enormous amounts of Digital Information (“Data”). In order to ensure the long-term sustainability and access to such Data, institutions make use of Digital Preservation (DP) systems to keep the Data both safe (bit preservation) and usable. Digital preservation is a relatively complex process requiring significant storage and processing power. This DPS will enable HEIs and other institutions to be able to efficiently procure Digital Preservation Systems in a way that is compliant with the Public Contract Regulations 2015.
