Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed the procurement process for the NP606825 Cycognito Surface Attack Monitoring Tool. This service aids in monitoring potential cyber-attack surfaces, with the procurement categorised under services in the health sector. The procurement was conducted under a limited method, without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the protection of exclusive rights. The contract was awarded to Computacenter, a large-scale supplier located in Edinburgh, and signed on 1st April 2025. This falls under the Scottish Government Software Value Added Reseller Services Framework.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialised in cybersecurity and software services to align themselves with public health organisations like NHS National Services Scotland. Companies with advanced capabilities in attack surface management or related cybersecurity tools would benefit significantly in competing for such contracts in future procurement cycles. The procurement stage and acceptance of Computacenter as the supplier highlight the importance of presenting unique and exclusive services, especially those leveraging existing frameworks and governmental structures. Thus, businesses with innovative technology solutions and the ability to offer exclusive or specialised rights have significant opportunities for growth and expansion within the public sector.
