Summary of the contracting process

St Albans City and District Council procured managed cyber security services to protect, monitor and improve the resilience of its ICT environment. The requirement covers managed security support, including anti-virus software and associated protection and monitoring services. Delivery is for the council’s ICT environment in St Albans, within the South East of England. This is a public-sector technology services requirement rather than a standalone software supply opportunity: relevant businesses are those able to provide ongoing managed cyber security capability alongside the tools and operational support needed to maintain a resilient ICT estate. The council is the buying organisation, and the procurement is categorised as services. The selected supplier, Cyberlab Security Ltd, is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement has been suitable for an SME-scale provider.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The council used a selective procedure to call off from a framework agreement. Tender submissions closed at 17:00 on 25 August 2026, and the contract was awarded on 27 August 2026. Cyberlab Security Ltd was selected for an awarded value of £87,801.52. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 2 August 2029. The procurement’s stated estimated value was £87,000. The award was made on the basis of the framework call-off process; the published information identifies the requirement as managed cyber security services, with anti-virus software as its primary classification. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award indicates a defined council requirement for managed cyber security delivered over a multi-year service period. A credible competitor for this buyer would need to combine practical cyber security operations with the ability to protect, monitor and strengthen the resilience of a public-sector ICT environment. Relevant capability includes managed anti-virus and endpoint protection, continuous security monitoring, incident response, threat management and service reporting, supported by staff able to operate reliably within council environments. Experience of delivering managed security services to public-sector organisations would help demonstrate understanding of governance, continuity and accountability requirements. The procurement route also shows that framework access and the ability to deliver a compliant call-off are commercially important, with an SME-sized provider already selected.
