UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Security Operations - Out of Hours" service has been completed by the London & Quadrant Housing Trust, which is located in London, United Kingdom. This procurement, legally based on the UKPGA 2023/54, falls under the industry category of Information Technology Services. The tender was conducted through an open procedure and has reached the award stage on 26th June 2026, with the contract scheduled to commence on 10th August 2026, extending over a three-year period. The services required are of a specialised nature, providing support for out-of-hours security operations to mitigate risks during non-operational hours of the internal Security Operations Centre.

This contract presents significant opportunities for growth in the cybersecurity industry, particularly for businesses specialising in security operations centres that can offer comprehensive out-of-hours services. Companies like Socura Limited, which was chosen as the supplier, benefit from establishing a long-term relationship with a well-regarded public organisation like LQ Group. Businesses excelling in rapid incident response and handling high-risk security operations during nights, weekends, and holidays would find this type of contract highly beneficial for showcasing their capabilities in securing large-scale operations. The use of an open procurement procedure ensures that various companies, especially those skilled in IT security services, had the opportunity to compete, although no SMEs or VCSEs reached the final bidding stages.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Security Operations - Out of Hours

Notice Description

1. Background LQ Group has a well-established Security Operations Centre (SOC) for protective monitoring and response. Internal security analysts triage and respond to security incidents according to policy. This work is carried out during regular office hours. Due to this shift pattern, we rely on hardening and automated response during out-of-hours. The lack of human triage increases our risk of organizational compromise during nights, weekends, and bank holidays. This risk is especially severe when multiple days pass without SOC staff on shift. 2. Objectives * Successful procurement means establishing a relationship with a security partner capable of providing the OOH SOC Services required to protect the business. * This partner should be an extension of the internal LQ Group SOC, supporting us to further mature our Security Operations. * Establishment of a contract over a three-year period.
