Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Lighthouse Board, located in Edinburgh, has concluded the awarding phase of a public procurement contract for cyber security testing services and incident response, focusing primarily on systems testing services within the ICT sector. This contract involves a value of £77,200 and is intended to support services across the region of Scotland, United Kingdom. The procurement process, which was a tender initiation, is now complete with the contract awarded to Prism Infosec. The contract period is set from 7th March 2025 and extends until 31st March 2029, including a three-year term with an optional one-year extension.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in ICT systems testing services, though it is marked suitable for voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) rather than small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies with a strong foothold in cyber security and incident management would be best suited to leverage the contract’s potential to provide long-term services to a public sector client like the Northern Lighthouse Board. Engaging in such contracts can enhance a firm's credentials and professional growth in the public procurement landscape.
