Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Barnet procured penetration testing to support its Public Services Network (PSN) IT Health Check, including quarterly external vulnerability scanning. This is a cyber-security testing service: suppliers assess systems for vulnerabilities and provide testing relevant to the PSN assurance requirement. Delivery is in Barnet. The procurement was placed through the G-Cloud 14 cloud services framework, Lot 3. The requirement is specific to penetration testing and recurring external scans, rather than general IT support or technology supply.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to MTI Technology Ltd. The borough used a limited award procedure without a separate call for competition, through the G-Cloud 14 buying process; one bid was recorded. The stated award basis was price. The lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are active. The contract value is £78,562.50. It was signed on 1 August 2026. The contract period is not stated in the available process details, so no end date can be reported.

For suppliers seeking comparable Barnet cyber-security work in future, this award demonstrates demand for penetration testing tied to PSN IT Health Check requirements and quarterly external vulnerability scanning. A credible competitor would need the technical capability to conduct penetration tests and repeat external vulnerability scans, and to produce results suitable for the buyer’s assurance needs. The award was made through the G-Cloud 14 framework route, with price identified as the evaluation basis, so framework eligibility and competitive pricing are commercially relevant. The recorded procurement attracted one bid and selected a large supplier, indicating the kind of established provider that secured this requirement; businesses should be able to demonstrate delivery capacity and experience in this specific testing service.
