Summary of the contracting process

The "Cyber Security Services 3" tender has been initiated by the Government Commercial Agency under the Crown Commercial Service (CCS). This dynamic purchasing system (DPS) is designed for procuring computer-related services, supporting government departments and the wider public sector in the United Kingdom. The procurement process follows a selective method using a restricted procedure, applicable to contracts above the threshold. The DPS, initially set up for 60 months, has been extended to end on 13th February 2029, with a total estimated value of £800 million. The tender status remains active as of the latest update, and the contract will commence immediately following the DPS period's conclusion.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) interested in providing certified and experienced cyber security services. The DPS is structured to cater for varying certifications, services, and standards, allowing a wide range of suppliers to compete based on their expertise and service quality. Businesses in the computer-related services sector, particularly those focused on consultancy, support, audit, and testing, will find this an ideal opportunity to expand their reach into government contracts. By participating, suppliers have the potential to engage directly with government departments and public sectors, contributing to both robust service delivery and sectoral growth.
