Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council has awarded the contract for a Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC) Managed Service to Quorum Cyber. This procurement process, identified as PKC11947, falls under the category of general public services and is situated in Perth, UKM77. The tender stage is complete with the contract being signed on 24th February 2026. Due to unforeseen circumstances affecting the expected Digital Office/SXL framework, the procurement followed a limited method without prior publication, based on extreme urgency. The key delivery location is Carpenter House, Carpenter Street, Perth, PH1 5LZ. The tender encompasses services classified under CPV code 72000000.

This contract represents significant business growth potential, particularly for large companies with expertise in cyber security and managed services. Quorum Cyber, as the successful supplier, illustrates the competitive advantage that businesses with similar capabilities can have in addressing technological threats and automating threat responses. Companies specialising in cybersecurity, IT infrastructure management, and digital threat remediation stand to benefit from similar opportunities, leveraging expertise to secure public sector contracts tailored for late notice urgent needs. This illustrates the demand for agile providers who can swiftly accommodate public sector requirements under tight time constraints.

Procurement Information

It had been expected that the well-publicised and proposed Digital Office/SXL framework for Local Authorities would be available in time for a timely award of a contract when our current one ended but the late notice of this being "put on hold" left insufficient time for a tendering process to be carried out.
