Managed SASE for 23 clinical and community sites with NHS DSPT evidence
Summary
A UK healthcare provider (anonymous) requests written responses for managed SASE across 23 clinical and community sites, prioritising resilience for 24x7 care, zero-trust access for clinical staff, and NHS DSPT plus Cyber Essentials Plus evidence. Suitable respondents include managed SASE and SD-WAN providers with healthcare references and UK support. Pricing responses are private to the buyer.
Project overview
Healthcare provider running 23 clinical and community sites on a mix of MPLS and consumer-grade broadband. We need a fully managed SASE service: resilient connectivity for 24x7 care settings, zero-trust access for community and home-working clinical staff, and central policy over patient-data flows. Clinical systems cannot take planned downtime during care hours, so migration windows are overnight and agreed site by site.
Current environment
MPLS at 9 acute sites, broadband elsewhere, ageing site firewalls, legacy VPN for remote clinicians. Azure-hosted clinical applications and Microsoft 365; some legacy on-premises systems remain.
Desired outcome
Site resilience appropriate to clinical risk, one policy across staff and locations, NHS DSPT evidence maintained without bespoke work each year, and a single accountable provider with UK support.
Scope and buyer context
Timeline
Written responses within three weeks; clinical safety review before shortlist; phased overnight migration agreed per site.
