Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "DBS Cyber Incident Exercising 2026" was conducted by the Home Office, based in Liverpool, United Kingdom, targeting the industry category of disaster recovery services. The procurement was part of a selective process through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, initially planned under the status "complete" and reaching its award stage by 21st July 2026. The delivery location for this service is noted to be in the North West of the UK. The overall value of the contract is £7,000, and the contract period spanned from 17th June to 16th August 2026. This process is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), although it didn't specifically target voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This tender offers growth opportunities primarily for SMEs specialising in cyber security and disaster recovery services, given its focus on cyber incident exercising. Firms adept at providing tailored recovery solutions could benefit significantly by establishing or enhancing their footing within this sector, especially those located or capable of operating in the North West region. With Bridewell Consulting Limited, a large organisation, having been awarded this particular contract, similar companies with a capacity to execute complex service frameworks may find opportunities in future tenders from the Home Office or similar governmental bodies.
