Corporate Firewall Replacement via the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solutions Framework

The organisation's main corporate firewalls are now end of life and will not be issued any further security patches. Replacement firewalls are required to main security and network operability. We've discussed our environment with experts and have decided to purchase x2 Fortinet 1800F firewalls which will operate in high availability mode. We also require support for 5 years and on-site engineer time to assist with migration. To maintain continuity with other system elements, a direct award has been conducted via the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workplace Solutions Framework.
