This procurement falls under the industry category of "System quality assurance assessment and review services" (CPV: 72225000) and will be conducted in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The current procurement stage is 'Tender,' with an open procedure method. The tender period ends on 25 November 2024 at 12:00 PM.

The contract period runs from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2029, with an estimated contract value of £18,000.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for UKAS Accredited Certification Bodies that specialise in information security and compliance services.

Companies with robust expertise in ISO standards and experience in conducting comprehensive security assessments would be well-suited to compete for this valuable contract.
