Summary of the contracting process

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has completed a procurement process for "EHRC 2526-15 Web Protection Services" under a selective method involving a call-off from the Crown Commercial Services RM6116 Network Services 3 Framework Agreement. This tender, with a main procurement category of IT services, aims to engage a supplier for the provision of a new cloud-based IT security platform to safeguard against malware, data leaks, and compromised devices. The procurement has been awarded to Specialist Computer Centres PLC, starting from 5th January 2026 and concluding on 4th January 2029. The services are to be delivered across England, Scotland, and Wales, representing significant engagement with the IT services sector.

This tender presents notable business growth opportunities, particularly for large companies experienced in IT services, such as consulting, software development, and internet support, looking to leverage the demand for robust security platforms. Small and medium-sized enterprises might also find potential subcontracting opportunities, although the primary contract has been awarded to a large organisation. The deployment of IT security services over a multi-year period across multiple regions creates a sustained avenue for growth and expertise development within the sector.
