Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council has successfully completed the procurement process for its "Cyber Security Assurance Services Framework," aimed at enhancing its ability to procure secure digital services. This procurement falls under the services category, with a focus on IT and digital security, designated by the CPV code 72000000. The process followed a restricted procedure, which is a selective procurement method. The tender process has moved through the award stage as of 6th August 2025, with several contracts now active across different lots, each valued at GBP 750,000. The awarded contracts cover essential services such as penetration testing, digital forensics, and security audits, among others, and will be delivered primarily within the Edinburgh area, identified by the region code UKM75.

This framework provides substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in cybersecurity, particularly SMEs and large enterprises capable of offering penetration testing, threat intelligence, and incident response services.

Such businesses can expand their service offerings and client base while supporting the public sector’s digital security needs. Furthermore, with ongoing opportunities for renewal and additional framework lots, this tender supports sustained engagement with the City of Edinburgh Council, promising recurring business and collaboration over an extended period.
