Check Point 9200 Firewall Licence Renewal

The Council for Medical Schemes (CMS) has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ/CMS/ICT/01112026) for the appointment of a service provider to assist with renewing the Check Point 9200 firewall licence for a period of twelve months. The firewall is part of the organisation's network security infrastructure, and the licence renewal keeps its security protection, updates and vendor support current. The tender is classified under Information and Communication, and the notice was published on 3 November 2026 with a closing date of 11 November 2026. The notice is currently listed as a draft, so the final terms may still change.

The tender notice itself describes the requirement only in general terms. The supporting document (APPOIN~4.PDF) is attached, but its content could not be extracted for this summary. Interested bidders should therefore download and review the full RFQ before preparing a submission. Typical requirements for South African public sector quotations include a valid tax clearance certificate, a Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration, a B-BBEE certificate or sworn affidavit, and compliance with the pricing and evaluation criteria set out in the RFQ. Bidders should confirm the exact licence SKU, the quantity of licences or appliances covered, the required vendor authorisation or partner status, any installation or support obligations, and the delivery timeframe, as these details are specified in the document rather than the notice.

For suitable providers, this is a focused, short-term engagement with clear deliverables: securing the continued operation of a critical security platform for one year. It is well suited to Check Point authorised resellers, managed security service providers and ICT firms with experience in firewall licensing and support. Successful bidders benefit from a defined scope, a public sector client, and an opportunity to build a relationship with a regulatory body. Businesses without Check Point expertise or the required licensing authorisation should assess the RFQ carefully before bidding.
