UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Luminate Education Group is seeking a supplier to deliver a managed security services provider (MSSP) and security operations centre (SOC) for its IT environment. The requirement combines ongoing managed security services with SOC capability, including security monitoring and operational support. It is a technology services contract, covering data security and systems support. The buyer is based in Leeds; the service delivery location is not stated in the procurement details.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 20 October 2026 at 12:00, and the stated deadline for enquiries is not included in the available process details. The contract was planned to run from 16 November 2026 to 15 November 2029, with an optional one-year extension, subject to approval, taking the maximum period to 15 November 2030. The estimated value is £640,000 excluding VAT (£800,000 including VAT). The award was to be decided equally on commercial bid (50%) and quality and technical responses (50%). Quality areas include mobilisation, track record, technical delivery, contract management, and analyst and organisational qualifications. The process reached the tender stage; no cancellation or withdrawal is stated.

This opportunity suits a managed security provider able to supply both an operational security operations centre and broader managed security services. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate sound mobilisation, a relevant track record, effective technical delivery and strong contract management. The evaluation also puts emphasis on the qualifications of analysts and the organisation, so bidders will need credible, suitably skilled security personnel and the organisational capability to support the service consistently. The combined SOC and MSSP requirement favours suppliers able to integrate monitoring and managed security operations rather than offer only a standalone security product. Commercial competitiveness matters as much as the technical and quality response. No specific certifications or formal accreditation requirements are identified in the stated criteria.
