NHS England has awarded a contract for the "Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC) Engineering Content and Tooling Call-Off" in the category of security software development services. The procurement process was conducted via a competitive procurement through the CCS Cyber Security Services 3 Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), with a total contract value of £3,700,000. The contract, awarded to HIPPO DIGITAL LIMITED, will commence on 1st May 2026 and run until 30th April 2028, with an option for a 12-month extension. Located in Leeds, within the Yorkshire and the Humber region, this initiative is part of the 'services' procurement category, and the current stage is the Award stage, completed as of 13th May 2026.

This procurement presents considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in cybersecurity and IT services, particularly those capable of supporting a dynamic and scalable operations centre.
