UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) centred on the extension of the Security Operations Feasibility Study, with the relevant industry category being services. The process was classified under a direct procurement method due to the need for compatibility and continuity with existing services. Located in Swindon, Wiltshire, UKRI managed this tender for NormCyber, based in Fareham, UK. The procurement stage has reached completion as of June 2026, with the awarded contract initially signed on 16th December 2025. The contract period spanned from December 2025 to the end of March 2026, concluding with an implementation end date on May 2026.

This tender presented a significant opportunity for businesses operating in the cybersecurity and IT services industry, especially those with capabilities in providing managed services for continuous monitoring and feasibility studies. As the study required maintaining compatibility with existing operations, suppliers demonstrating technical expertise in maintaining cybersecurity infrastructure could greatly benefit. The focus on a single supplier due to technical reasons highlights the importance of industry-specific knowledge, potentially paving the way for similar opportunities requiring specialised skills in future contracts.
