Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured managed security and information assurance services for Youth Justice Services. The requirement covers cyber security support, risk management, data protection assurance and independent security testing. The work is intended to help the department comply with government security standards and protect sensitive information. It is a services contract delivered across the United Kingdom and internationally, including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and other locations worldwide. This is therefore relevant to providers of managed cyber security, information assurance, security governance, data protection assurance and independent penetration or security testing services, particularly those able to support sensitive public-sector information across a broad geographic footprint.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Ministry of Justice used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Alpine Resourcing Limited was awarded the contract on 30 June 2026 for £632,726.16, including the stated contract value, with a contract period from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029. The tender had a submission deadline of 18 November 2025 at 11:59 UTC. The opportunity was evaluated as a service requirement covering managed security and information assurance, rather than a supply or construction project. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the selected supplier is an SME. There was one award and one named supplier.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is a clear indication that the Ministry of Justice buys externally managed cyber security and assurance support for Youth Justice Services at a substantial, multi-year scale. Credible competitors for a future requirement would need to combine operational cyber security expertise with risk management, data protection assurance and independent security testing. They should be able to demonstrate work protecting sensitive information, applying government security standards and producing assurance that can withstand public-sector scrutiny. The broad delivery footprint also favours providers with the capacity, governance and resilience to support users and systems across the UK and overseas locations. SME status was acceptable in this procurement, making it relevant to established specialist firms as well as larger security service providers.
