Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured a managed cyber security service provider for HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS). The requirement is for cyber security services delivered on HMCTS’s behalf, covering security software development services and associated managed service activity. The work is intended to support HMCTS operations across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and other locations worldwide. This is a specialist technology services requirement rather than a one-off software supply or standalone consultancy assignment. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would typically provide outsourced cyber security operations, security software development and the ongoing management of cyber security services for a major public-sector organisation operating across multiple jurisdictions.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Accenture (UK) Ltd on 25 August 2026. It was run as a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 30 October 2025 at 13:00. The awarded value is £25.9 million, with the procurement’s estimated minimum value stated as £827,200. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031. The award is active and covers the full managed cyber security service requirement. The published procurement information identifies one supplier and one service requirement. The contract was evaluated through the framework call-off route; the available procurement information does not state separate price, quality or technical scoring criteria.

This award indicates substantial, sustained demand from the Ministry of Justice for an outsourced cyber security capability supporting HMCTS across a wide geographic footprint. A credible future competitor would need to deliver an integrated managed service, combine cyber security operations with security software development, and support a large and complex public-sector environment. The selected supplier is a large organisation, and the procurement was unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating a scale and delivery model likely to favour suppliers with significant operational capacity, established governance and the ability to manage services across the UK and international locations. Experience of framework call-offs and long-term public-sector service delivery would also strengthen a competing supplier’s position.
