Description

The University is in the process of rolling out a Salesforce implementation to manage student enrolment and provide ongoing support to students. At various stages throughout the process users, be they applicants, students or members of staff will upload documents. This can be through the core Salesforce platform as well as portals built on Experience cloud.

This presents a risk in terms of infected files (virus or malware) being deliberately or accidentally distributed through the platform against which Salesforce has no inbuilt native protection.

To mitigate this risk the University needs to procure an anti-virus / malware solution to integrate into our Salesforce instances.

This is a competitive procurement, conducted as a further competition against the Software Licence Reseller Agreement (SLRA); Lot 4 - Other which is run by the Southern East Universities Purchasing Consortium (SUPC). This Agreement has been awarded under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 and only suppliers on Lot 4 of the aforementioned agreement are permitted to participate in this procurement process.
