Nessus renewal 2019

NHS Digital consolidated three contracts for Nessus licencing & support across the Corporate ICT and SSD teams back in October 2017 into one contract. This contract is now up for renewal and there is no provision to extend the current contract. Corporate ICT & SSD still require the tool to be renewed however they have requested we renew for a further 12 months whilst the full management toolset review has been completed. In order to procure the renewal we propose to run a mini competition via the CCS Technology Products 2 framework. The value of the renewal is to be split between SSD (£38k) & Corporate ICT (£18k)
