Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency procured cyber security architecture services for its digital programmes. The requirement covers technical security assurance, security governance and oversight of cyber risk, supporting secure design and delivery. The supplier is expected to help ensure that digital work aligns with the UK Government’s Secure by Design approach and National Cyber Security Centre guidance. This is a specialist systems and technical consultancy service, covering cyber security architecture rather than general IT support or commodity software supply. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the procurement’s delivery information also identifying the E11 area. The opportunity is classified as services and was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective procedure, using a call-off from a framework agreement. UK Health Security Agency selected Methods Business and Digital Technology Limited on 17 July 2026. The awarded contract value is £654,280. The contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 20 November 2026. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 12:00. The award is recorded as active and the tender as complete. This is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot procurement. The available outcome information identifies the successful supplier and the framework call-off route; it does not set out a separate price-versus-quality weighting or other detailed evaluation formula.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need demonstrable cyber security architecture expertise across digital programmes, including technical security assurance, governance and cyber risk oversight. They would need to show that they can influence secure design and delivery in practice, rather than provide only retrospective testing or compliance advice. Familiarity with the UK Government’s Secure by Design approach and National Cyber Security Centre guidance would be important, as would the ability to apply that guidance consistently across programmes and communicate assurance to governance stakeholders. The award also indicates that a specialist consultancy can deliver the requirement through a framework call-off. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable, so an SME with relevant public-sector delivery experience and sufficient specialist capacity could be well placed.
