UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Camden procured a cyber security services package covering penetration testing, Public Services Network (PSN) IT health checks, vulnerability management and security consultancy. The requirement is primarily professional information technology consultancy and support services, including the technical assessment of systems and identification and management of security weaknesses. Camden is the buying organisation, based at Town Hall, Judd Street, London. The awarded services relate to delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a single-service requirement rather than a purchase of physical goods or construction works, and would suit organisations that provide independent cyber security testing, assurance and advisory support to public-sector bodies.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Secon Cyber Security Limited. It was run as a below-threshold procurement, with the published method described as unknown, and comprised one lot. The award is active. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 30 July 2026 to 30 July 2028. Its gross value is £88,620. The contracting authority is the London Borough of Camden. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier and the awarded contract, but does not provide a separate award date or detailed evaluation weighting. The requirement was evaluated through the procurement process for the combined penetration testing, PSN health-check, vulnerability-management and security-consultancy service.

This procurement demonstrates Camden’s demand for an integrated cyber security provider rather than a supplier offering only one isolated test. Competitors would need credible capability in penetration testing, PSN IT health checks, vulnerability management and security consultancy, with the capacity to support a public authority across these related activities. The requirement is suitable for a specialist cyber security business, including an SME-sized provider, provided it can deliver professional IT assurance and advisory services in the UK. A future competitor would need to show that its technical testing is rigorous, its vulnerability findings can be managed through to remediation, and its consultancy can translate cyber risks into practical advice for a local-authority environment.
