Summary of the contracting process

The West Suffolk Council has awarded a contract for Red Team/Ethical Hacking/Penetration Testing services, with the award dated 24 May 2022. The process was initiated as a tender, and the procurement was classified under the main category of IT services. The contract runs from 24 May 2022 until 23 May 2024, and it was indicated that the procurement method used was 'Other'. The services are to be delivered at locations within the East of England, particularly in Suffolk, where the council is based.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in IT consulting and cyber security services. Businesses with expertise in ethical hacking, penetration testing, and security assessments would be particularly well-suited to compete for future contracts in this category. The engagement of a local council not only enhances visibility for SMEs but also aligns with the growing demand for robust cyber security solutions across the public sector.
