Summary of the contracting process

The Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (Ofsted) has completed the procurement process for a "Technology Security (NIST) Review" project. This falls under the industry category of information systems or technology strategic review services and is located in England, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is at the Award stage, and the tender process was initiated through a selective "call-off from a framework agreement." Key dates include the tender period ending on 25th November 2024, the contract starting on 16th December 2024, and ending on 28th February 2025. The awarded contract is valued at GBP 32,337.5 and has been given to Bridewell Consulting Limited.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for suppliers specialising in cybersecurity and technology assessment services. Businesses that can lead and support evidence gathering, maturity analysis, and provide strategic guidance under the NIST framework would find this tender particularly beneficial. Moreover, as the procurement process supports SMEs, smaller firms with adequate expertise in technology security can stand a competitive chance, fostering growth through such strategic government contracts. This project offers a valuable opportunity to work closely with Ofsted's security team and enhance their cybersecurity maturity, thus contributing to a major public sector initiative.
