The Contracting Authority is seeking to procure a multi- supplier framework agreement (with a minimum of 4 suppliers) on behalf of UK Policing, with scope for the procured services to be rolled out to other emergency services in the future. This will be for a period of 4 years (with an initial term of 2 years and the option for the Contracting Authority acting in its sole discretion, to extend for two further periods of 1 year each), aiming to commence in or around October 2021. The framework will be for the delivery of cyber security penetration testing services. Full details of the specification and requirements are included in the ITT. The procurement documents will be made available to each bidder upon completion of an NDA. Please contact Krish Khanna on Krish.Khanna@tltsolicitors.com to receive a copy of the NDA. The NMC, through the Contracting Authority, currently provides a centralised suite of operational security services to UK Policing. These services include the following: * Protective Monitoring; * Incident Management; * Threat Intelligence; * Threat Hunting; * Vulnerability Assessment; * Malware Analysis; and * Penetration Testing Co-ordination. This framework is being established to streamline the procurement of Penetration Testing on behalf of UK Policing. The full scope of the Services to be provided by the Framework Suppliers is detailed in the Statement of Requirements (Appendix 1). Anticipated spend under the Framework Agreement is not expected to exceed PS1,000,000. This figure has been calculated on the assumption that the Framework Agreement runs for its maximum possible term and that a number of Call Off Contracts are awarded by Contracting Bodies. For the avoidance of doubt, the Contracting Authority gives no warranty or representation as to the value of any Call Off Contract, or the number of Call Off Contracts, if any, which may be awarded. The Contracting Authority intends to award the Framework Agreement based on the most economically advantageous tender (MEAT). The Contracting Authority will not be bound to accept the lowest price or any Tender submitted, but will be evaluating Tenders on the quality and price criteria set forth in the ITT. Additional information: The framework is open to a wide range of policing bodies, law enforcement agencies and other Bluelight Services. Please refer to the ITT and Appendix 4 (Contracting Bodies) for more information.
Renewal: The initial term of the awarded framework agreement shall be 2 years (24 months), with the possibility of two further renewal periods of 1 year each (12 months).
