Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) bought a cyber threat-sharing service for the Great Britain energy sector. The service is intended to improve threat detection and information sharing by enabling faster, more consistent and secure exchange of machine-readable technical indicators. Its purpose is to help strengthen the resilience of the energy sector and protect critical infrastructure from cyber threats. This is a specialist cybersecurity service with a software component, rather than a general IT support requirement. The buyer is DESNZ; its listed address is in Swindon. The delivery information covers the United Kingdom and other broad locations, but the stated operational focus is the Great Britain energy sector.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to 2T Security Ltd. DESNZ selected the supplier through a competitive call-off from the Cyber Security Services 3 dynamic purchasing system. The award date was 1 October 2026, and the contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded value is £136,850. The requirement is presented as one service, with no separate lots identified. The opportunity was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The available procurement information describes the service objective but does not set out the detailed scoring or evaluation criteria, or specific supplier eligibility conditions.

This award demonstrates DESNZ’s demand for specialist cyber security capability focused on protecting the energy sector and critical infrastructure. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need to deliver an automated service that shares machine-readable technical threat indicators securely and consistently, while supporting faster threat detection across organisations in the Great Britain energy sector. Experience integrating threat intelligence and information-sharing workflows, and delivering services suited to critical infrastructure users, would be commercially relevant to this buyer’s requirement. The route used was a competitive call-off from a cyber security dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking similar work should be positioned to compete through that route. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that this requirement was deliverable by a smaller specialist business.
