Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured cybersecurity subject-matter expertise to support the Governance, Compliance and Risk (GRC) workstream within a wider programme. The requirement is for specialist professional and consultancy services, focused on cybersecurity input to governance, compliance and risk activity. The procurement is classified as development consultancy services. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buyer is UK Shared Business Services Limited, based in Swindon. This is a focused expertise requirement rather than a purchase of cybersecurity products or a general IT service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited, trading as Consultancy+. The award was made on 17 September 2026, with a value of £113,045.25. The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. UK Shared Business Services Limited used a direct award through the YPO Managing Consultancy and Professional Services framework. The earlier submission deadline was 7 August 2026 at 11:00. The procurement was not divided into lots. The published evaluation basis is not described in the available process information.

For suppliers competing for a similar requirement from UK Shared Business Services Limited, the award demonstrates demand for specialist cybersecurity expertise that can be applied within a governance, compliance and risk workstream and integrated into a wider programme. Credible competitors would need to show relevant cybersecurity subject-matter capability alongside an understanding of governance, risk and compliance needs, and the ability to support programme delivery through consultancy. This was bought through a call-off from a consultancy and professional services framework, so experience supplying through an appropriate framework route would be commercially relevant. The contract is modest in scale and time-limited, making focused specialist teams and the capacity to contribute to a defined workstream more pertinent than a broad, product-led cybersecurity offering.
