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.
