Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Barnet is buying cyber security operations services to support its digital transformation goals, cyber resilience strategy and network modernisation plans. The requirement includes flexible transition arrangements intended to be cost effective. The work is for Barnet. The procurement sits within Crown Commercial Service’s Cyber Security Services 3 framework, which provides the purchasing route for the requirement. Its scope is cyber security services, with related computer support, consultancy, audit and testing services included in the classification. Barnet is the customer receiving the services; Crown Commercial Service manages the framework procurement. This is a local-authority requirement focused on operating and strengthening the borough’s cyber security capability, rather than a general IT support contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Maple Networks Ltd. The award is active, and the contract is also recorded as active. The contract was signed on 1 June 2026, with a contract value of £275,000. The tender gives a 720-day contract period and allows for renewal; buyers may set an appropriate contract duration, including one that extends beyond the framework agreement if it is terminated. The overall tender estimate was £800 million, but this was an estimate for the wider framework and did not guarantee business, minimum spend or exclusivity. The process used a restricted procedure through a framework agreement. Three bids were recorded. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and cost at 40%.

For suppliers preparing for similar Barnet cyber security work, the relevant capability is delivering cyber security operations that support an organisation’s resilience, digital change and network modernisation. Credible competitors would need to demonstrate both technical quality and competitive pricing, since the stated evaluation gave quality greater weight than cost. Experience in computer security, cyber operations, consultancy, audit and testing is relevant to the breadth of the requirement. The award to an SME shows that this work was delivered by a smaller supplier, although it does not establish a size restriction for future opportunities. Suppliers should be able to work through Crown Commercial Service’s Cyber Security Services 3 framework and provide flexible transition arrangements suited to the borough’s operational needs.
