Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Southampton is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for a Cyber Security: Security Operations & Monitoring Managed Service. This initiative aims to engage suppliers through a soft market testing exercise to gather insights and estimated costs for the project. Key dates include an engagement end date set for 20th May 2022. The procurement method categorised under IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support is geared towards identifying viable solutions available in the marketplace, and will take place in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This soft market testing presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to showcase their capabilities and contribute to the University’s decision-making process. Companies that specialise in security operations and monitoring are particularly well-suited to engage with this initiative. By participating, they can provide valuable insights, potentially influencing future formal procurement processes and establishing a foothold in further contracts with the University.
