Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) commissioned energy-sector cyber threat analysis and information-sharing support. The work is intended to strengthen threat analysis, information sharing and collaboration across the Great Britain energy sector, helping organisations understand cyber threats and protect critical infrastructure. DESNZ developed the requirement with input from the National Cyber Security Centre, the National Energy System Operator and industry. The work is consultancy and research-related services (CPV 73000000). Delivery is relevant to the GB energy sector; the stated delivery coverage also includes the wider United Kingdom and other international locations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Frazer-Nash Consultancy Ltd. The award was made on 14 September 2026, for £145,377.90. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. DESNZ used a selective call-off mini-competition under the Government Commercial Agency’s Cyber Security Services 3 dynamic purchasing system, filtered to NCSC Assured Services. The submission deadline was 4 September 2026. The award information does not describe evaluation weightings or criteria. The process is recorded as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from DESNZ for specialist cyber threat analysis and information-sharing support focused on the Great Britain energy sector and critical infrastructure. A credible future competitor would need to show it can help energy organisations understand cyber threats, improve the sharing of threat information and work collaboratively with government, the National Cyber Security Centre and sector stakeholders. The selected supplier was a large consultancy, and the procurement used a cyber security services dynamic purchasing system with an NCSC Assured Services filter. Suppliers with relevant energy-sector cyber security expertise and the ability to provide assured services through that route would be well placed to compete if this specific requirement returns to market.
