UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England procured a secure file transfer platform for its CSOC, supporting cyber incident response, investigation and coordination. This is a specialist information technology service combining software and information systems with related IT services, including software support and potentially consulting or development. The requirement concerns a platform that enables secure transfer of files and information during cyber incidents and associated investigative and coordination activity. NHS England is the buying organisation. The procurement is identified as the CSOC Secure File Transfer Platform and was arranged as a single requirement rather than a set of separate service packages. The available information describes a national public-sector cyber security use case, but does not identify a separate delivery site.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. NHS England used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. Hexiosec Ltd was selected as the supplier and holds an active award. The contract was signed on 9 July 2026 and runs from 13 July 2026 to 12 July 2027. Its value is £20,810 excluding VAT, or £24,972 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition procedure. The available outcome identifies one supplier and one contract for the secure file transfer platform. The contract remains active, so this record represents an awarded procurement rather than an opportunity to submit a tender.

This procurement indicates demand within NHS England for secure, operationally reliable file transfer supporting cyber incident response, investigation and coordination. Suppliers would need to provide software and information systems alongside dependable IT support, with a clear understanding of secure information exchange in a cyber security environment. Credible competitors would be expected to demonstrate that their platform can support incident-handling teams, investigative workflows and coordination between relevant parties, while maintaining appropriate security and service continuity. Relevant capability lies in secure file-transfer technology, software implementation or configuration, technical support and cyber incident-response use cases. The limited-competition route and single-platform requirement suggest that a focused specialist supplier, able to present a clear technical fit and deliver a defined service, would be better placed than a generalist IT provider.
