Procurement Information

GSA has undertaken a direct award via an existing compliant framework agreement in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations. This approach has been justified on the grounds of extreme urgency brought about by events that were unforeseeable and outside the control of the authority. The requirement for a managed security service has arisen due to an immediate and critical need to ensure the continued protection of organisational systems, data, and infrastructure against evolving cyber security risks. The timescales associated with conducting a full competitive procedure would not have enabled the authority to meet these urgent operational and security requirements. The selected framework was originally procured in compliance with the relevant procurement regulations and provides a lawful route to market. The direct award mechanism available within the framework enables the authority to appoint a capable supplier within the required timeframe while maintaining compliance, transparency, and value for money. This approach ensures continuity of service and mitigates significant risk, while remaining fully aligned with procurement regulations and the strict conditions governing the use of urgency provisions. The overarching objective of this procurement is to ensure that GSA have a continued Managed Security Service that ensures the organisation's cybersecurity posture is maintained and continuously improved over the life of the contract. There is insufficient time is available to conduct a competitive procurement, the use of the G Cloud 14 Framework and the continued engagement with the incumbent supplier will ensure value for money is delivered in terms of economy, efficiency, and effectiveness.
