## Summary

The Cabinet Office procured information assurance services for cloud support. The work involves carrying out specialist information assurance activities and producing artefacts that help the organisation understand and mitigate information security risks. This is an IT consulting and support service, within the wider category of IT services, software development, internet and support (CPV 72000000). Delivery is associated with the Cabinet Office at Whitehall, London. The requirement is for a specialist service capability rather than the supply of standard goods or construction work. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to established specialist consultancies and smaller cyber and information assurance providers with the necessary cloud and security expertise.

This procurement has been awarded and the process is complete. The Cabinet Office used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Cyberfort Ltd was awarded the contract on 26 August 2026 for £750,000. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2027, and the contract has been signed. The tender had a submission deadline of 24 July 2026 at 12:00 BST. It was procured as a services requirement and the published outcome records one active award to Cyberfort Ltd. The contract period and awarded value indicate a substantial, defined cloud information assurance engagement delivered over one year. The opportunity was evaluated through the framework call-off route rather than an open standalone tender.

This award demonstrates demand from the Cabinet Office for a supplier able to provide practical information assurance capability around cloud support. A credible future competitor would need experienced information security specialists who can assess cloud-related risks, explain those risks clearly, and recommend or support effective mitigation. It would also need the capacity to produce reliable specialist artefacts that can support assurance, governance and decision-making, rather than providing advice without usable outputs. The requirement is suitable for an SME-scale provider, so smaller cyber security, cloud assurance and information assurance consultancies may be well placed where they can show relevant delivery experience, strong technical understanding and the ability to work within a public-sector framework call-off.
