Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured training services for a set of facilitated workshops on the National Cyber Security Centre’s Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF). The workshops are intended to improve cyber-security awareness, capability and compliance across the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). The work involves facilitating sessions rather than supplying physical goods or construction works, and is categorised as training services (CPV 80500000). Delivery is associated with UKRI’s Polaris House site in Swindon, in the South East of England. The requirement is therefore relevant to organisations that provide structured cyber-security training, CAF-related advisory support, and facilitated learning for public-sector or research organisations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to NCC Group Security Services Ltd on 8 July 2026 for £36,900 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 8 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 6 July 2026 at 12:00. UKRI evaluated the requirement as a services procurement for facilitated NCSC CAF workshops. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. One supplier is recorded as receiving the active award.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates demand from UKRI for specialist cyber-security training delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical knowledge of the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework, the ability to explain cyber-security governance and compliance clearly, and experienced facilitators able to run structured workshops for varied participants. Evidence of improving organisational awareness and capability would strengthen a proposition, particularly where it can be applied to a complex research and technology environment. Framework access and experience of public-sector delivery would also be commercially relevant, as this buyer used a framework route rather than an open standalone tender.
