Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency, in collaboration with the Crown Commercial Service on behalf of the Cabinet Office, has recently completed its procurement process for the provision of a Cyber Incident Response Provider, a contract valued at £2,250,000. This process falls under the computer-related professional services category and utilises a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract is set to be delivered in London, United Kingdom, with the award stage now complete. The contract period started on 8 April 2026 and will run until 7 April 2028, with the award being made active on 21 April 2026 to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in computer-related professional services, particularly those that can provide a robust cyber incident response capability. With a focus on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) suitability, firms in this category could expand their market presence and build a solid portfolio by participating in future procurement cycles. Additionally, the selective procurement method, which involves call-offs from framework agreements, suggests that businesses already part of such frameworks would be particularly well-positioned to compete effectively. Given the nature of the services required, firms with expertise in cybersecurity and incident response stand to benefit greatly from involvement in such high-value public sector contracts.
