Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council has successfully awarded the contract for the Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC) Managed Service under the legal basis of directive 32014L0024 and without prior publication due to extreme urgency. The procurement process, tagged as complete, is related to IT services, specifically consulting, software development, and support, within the UKM77 region, specifically Carpenter House, Carpenter Street, Perth, PH1 5LZ. The contract was awarded on 24th February 2026, with a total value of £78,000 and Quorum Cyber appointed as the supplier. This procurement falls under a limited procurement method reflecting the urgent need caused by the delay of the Digital Office/SXL framework intended for local authorities.

This contracting process provides a robust opportunity for companies specialising in cyber security solutions and managed services to engage with public sector projects. Quorum Cyber, noted for their large-scale operations, exemplifies the type of business well-suited to fulfil the CSOC's technological and threat management needs. Businesses with strong capabilities in responding to emerging cyber threats, automating responses, and applying remediation may find similar future opportunities lucrative. Additionally, firms focused on IT consultancy and software development can leverage such contracts to enhance their portfolio and expand their influence in regional government sectors.

Procurement Information

It had been expected that the well-publicised and proposed Digital Office/SXL framework for Local Authorities would be available in time for a timely award of a contract when our current one ended but the late notice of this being "put on hold" left insufficient time for a tendering process to be carried out.
