UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England procured a three-year corporate membership of the Chartered Institute of Information Security (CIISec). The requirement is a professional information-security membership service for the NHS England organisation, rather than the purchase of software, equipment or construction works. It sits within IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support services (CPV 72000000), with goods also recorded as an additional category. The selected provider is the Chartered Institute of Information Security, a large organisation based in Offenham, Worcestershire. The procurement is therefore relevant to professional bodies, information-security institutes and organisations that provide corporate membership, professional development or related information-security support to public-sector customers. It is less relevant to general IT suppliers without a corporate membership or information-security professional-services offer.

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded to the Chartered Institute of Information Security under a below-threshold limited competition. There was one completed lot. The contract was signed on 2 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £21,392 excluding VAT, or £25,670.40 including VAT. The selected supplier is CIISec. The published data records the award as active and the contract as active. The procedure was a limited competition rather than an open tender, and the procurement was below the applicable threshold. The requirement was evaluated through that limited-competition route; the available outcome information identifies the successful supplier but does not set out individual scoring criteria or weightings.

This procurement demonstrates recurring public-sector demand for corporate membership from a specialist information-security professional body. A competitor seeking similar work with NHS England would need a credible information-security remit, an established membership proposition for organisations rather than only individuals, and the capacity to support a central-government health organisation over a multi-year term. The successful supplier’s profile indicates that the buyer accepted a large, specialist institute as suitable for the requirement. Relevant businesses include professional institutes, membership organisations and information-security service providers able to combine corporate access with recognised expertise and ongoing support. The limited-competition, below-threshold route shows that comparable requirements may be sourced through a focused field of specialist providers rather than a broad market-wide competition.
