Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Thirteen Housing Group Limited procured cyber security services covering a security operations centre (SOC) and security information and event management (SIEM). The requirement falls within IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support services (CPV 72000000). The work is delivered for the group in the North East of England. It is a service procurement intended to provide ongoing cyber security monitoring, security event management and associated support for the housing organisation. The buyer is based at 2 Hudson Quay, Middlesbrough. The requirement is specific to operational cyber security capability rather than general IT supply, and is relevant to providers that can deliver managed SOC and SIEM services for a public-sector or housing-sector client.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective call-off from the CCS Framework, rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 1 August 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded on 6 August 2026 to Waterstons Limited for £191,400 including the stated procurement value, with a contract period from 6 August 2026 to 5 August 2030. The award is active. The recorded evaluation basis is the framework call-off route; no separate weighting or detailed award criteria are recorded. The opportunity was not divided into lots, and participation was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from a housing organisation for managed cyber security operations and SIEM capability over a multi-year service period. A credible future competitor would need to operate or support a security operations centre, collect and manage security event data, detect and investigate threats, and provide dependable monitoring and incident response. Experience integrating SIEM tooling with the buyer’s systems, maintaining service continuity and producing clear security reporting would be commercially relevant. Suppliers should also be comfortable delivering a managed service through a public-sector framework call-off, with the governance, assurance and service management expected in that route. The requirement is aimed at established specialist cyber security providers rather than general IT suppliers.
