UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Civil Nuclear Police Authority and Civil Nuclear Constabulary intend to procure services covering service integration and management (SIAM), end-user computing and a security operations centre (SOC). The requirement is classified as information technology services (CPV 72222300). It is intended to support the organisations’ IT service management, user computing environment and security operations. The buying organisation is based at Culham Campus in Abingdon. The scope is presented as one service requirement rather than separate lots, and the procurement is being developed for the Civil Nuclear Police Authority and Civil Nuclear Constabulary. Suppliers with experience across integrated IT service management, end-user technology support and security operations should consider the requirement relevant to their capabilities.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has stated an intention to procure and has not issued an invitation to tender. It expects to use an open procedure for services above the relevant threshold. The estimated value is £10,000,000 excluding VAT and £10,200,000 including VAT. The planned contract period is 26 August 2027 to 25 August 2032, with renewal arrangements allowing the period to extend to 25 August 2034. The buyer expects to publish the next notice on 10 November 2026. Preliminary market engagement is scheduled to take place by 7 September 2026. There is one planned lot, covering the full SIAM, end-user computing and SOC requirement.

The requirement is likely to suit established IT service providers, managed service providers and specialist security operators able to combine service integration, end-user computing and security operations within a single service model. Relevant preparation would include demonstrating operational capability in IT service management, coordinating multiple technology services and suppliers, supporting end users and devices, and monitoring and responding to security events. Suppliers with experience delivering complex, security-sensitive services for public authorities or similarly controlled environments may be well placed to respond when the procurement reaches the market. The buyer’s scope indicates that bidders will need sufficient technical breadth and delivery capacity to provide integrated services rather than a narrowly defined single-technology product.
