Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Quorum Cyber Managed Service" contract was conducted by the Clarion Housing Group, a public authority operating within the sub-central government sector in the United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the industry category of security services and is located in London. The contract was awarded using a direct award procurement method due to the repeat nature of the services and existing integration with the buyer's systems, which was justified by the Procurement Act 2023. The contract was signed on 30th June 2026 and is effective from 10th July 2026 to 30th June 2027. As of the latest update on 10th July 2026, the procurement stage is complete, with the contract in active status.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in cyber security services. The direct award to Quorum Cyber Security Ltd illustrates the critical importance of existing relationships and technical knowledge in securing such contracts. Companies that have an established track record of delivering integrated cyber security solutions to large public organisations may find this type of procurement advantageous. The contract value of £378,316.80 highlights the potential for substantial revenue within this niche market, particularly for businesses capable of providing continuity and advanced security management services.

Notice Title

Quorum Cyber Managed Service

Notice Description

Services to be delivered: Clarity Protect (SOC MDR- up to 4650 users) Clarity Protect (XDR) CTEM (Vulnerability Management) Enhanced Incident Response Retainer

Procurement Information

In line with Schedule 5 - Direct Award Justifications, Paragraph 7 "Additional or repeat goods, services or works" of the Procurement Act 2023, this Direct Award is compliant on the basis that the requirement constitutes repeat services where a change of Supplier would result in Clarion receiving services that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing services, leading to disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance. The incumbent Supplier currently delivers Clarion's cyber security services and has developed extensive knowledge of Clarion's cyber security environment. The Supplier has established integrations with Clarion's critical systems and has the operational knowledge to maintain the existing service without interruption. A change of Supplier would create disproportionate technical and operational difficulties, due to requiring an extensive knowledge transfer, creating risks to service continuity and heightened cyber security risks while the new Supplier embeds and develops an understanding of Clarion's environment and risk profile. The Contract for this requirement was signed on 30/06/2026 due to the urgency of ensuring continuous service provision. Please note, I have included date of Contract signature in order to be open and transparent, as when the form is uploaded onto Atamis/ FTS it will require us to include future dates for Contract signature, etc. which are not accurate. This does constitute a risk as it highlights that the Contract has been signed prior to the Notice, but I feel this is the most appropriate approach.
