Sophos License Renewal

The City of Pembroke Pines is seeking bids from qualified firms to provide a Sophos 3-year license renewal for the City's Charter Schools. The renewal will include Sophos Central MDR - Managed Detection and Response Complete, which provides next-gen endpoint protection with threat hunting capabilities and a fully managed 24/7 Threat Hunting and Response service. The City prefers a three-year term with annual payments. Proposers must provide pricing for three options: a one-year term, a three-year term with a lump sum payment, and a three-year term with annual payments. The contract will be for a three-year term, and the City may re-solicit for services in subsequent years. Some key points to consider include: • The City's Charter Schools serve over 6,000 students across five separate campuses. • The Sophos license renewal will provide the Charter Schools with a 24/7 team of threat hunters and response experts. • The City prefers a three-year term with annual payments, but will consider other pricing options. • Proposers must provide pricing for all three options and clearly indicate the annual payment value for the three-year term. • The contract will be awarded based on the most advantageous option for the City. • The City reserves the right to evaluate all submitted pricing options and determine which option is most advantageous. • The City will not remit payments to any third-party financing or leasing entity, and all payments will be made directly to the awarded vendor. • The contract will include insurance requirements, and proposers must certify that they either currently hold or are able and willing to obtain all required insurance coverages, endorsements, and limits prior to award and execution of the contract.
