Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

ICS, acting for the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, procured a cyber risk management platform delivered through platform-as-a-service licences. The requirement is classified as information technology services (CPV 72222300), although the main procurement category is goods. The platform is intended to support cyber risk management for the participating government departments. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buying organisation is based at 55 Whitehall, London. The requirement concerns provision of the platform licences rather than a general cyber security consultancy or an identified programme of implementation works.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective catalogue purchase. The tender closed on 15 July 2026 at 12 noon, and the award was made on 16 July 2026. Bechtle Ltd was selected for an award of £87,422. The contract runs from 16 July 2026 to 31 December 2028. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award relates to the complete requirement rather than separately identified lots. Evaluation was carried out within the catalogue purchase route, with the recorded outcome being an active award to the selected supplier.

This award indicates demand from central government for commercially available cyber risk management platforms supplied through platform-as-a-service licensing. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this type would have an established cyber risk management product, the ability to provide and support platform licences, and experience supplying information technology services to public sector organisations. The broad delivery geography means credible providers should be able to support users across the United Kingdom and associated territories, Europe and other international locations. The procurement route also shows that catalogue-based purchasing is relevant, so suppliers should be able to present a clearly defined, purchasable technology offering and operate through the required public sector purchasing arrangements. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that a specialist provider could be commercially relevant alongside larger technology resellers.
