Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Barnet procured cyber security operations services to support its digital transformation goals, cyber resilience strategy and network modernisation plans. The requirement includes flexible, cost-effective transition arrangements. This is a service contract for cyber security, rather than a purchase of data security software development. Delivery is in London. The buyer is Barnet Council, and the selected supplier is Maple Networks Ltd. The procurement is part of the Crown Commercial Service Cyber Security Services 3 framework. The requirement concerns operational cyber security support for the council’s networks and digital services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Maple Networks Ltd. The award date was 1 June 2026, and the contract runs from 8 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The awarded value is £275,000. The estimated tender value was also £275,000. Barnet used a restricted procedure, meaning a selective procurement route. The tender closed on 1 June 2026. The requirement was presented as a single service contract, with no separate lots described. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. The available details do not set out evaluation criteria or a scoring basis.

For cyber security suppliers, this award demonstrates Barnet’s demand for operational security services supporting digital transformation, cyber resilience and network modernisation. A credible competitor would need to show that it can operate and protect public-sector digital and network environments, and provide flexible transition arrangements that keep services effective as systems change. Cost-effective delivery is part of the stated requirement, so suppliers should be able to explain how they would maintain security operations while managing costs. The selected provider is an SME, and the buyer considered SMEs suitable for this work, indicating that the requirement was not confined to large suppliers. Experience aligned to council services and the ability to support a sustained operational requirement would therefore be relevant when competing for this buyer’s comparable cyber security services.
