This tender falls under the "IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support" category (CPV: 72000000), and covers various locations including but not limited to the United Kingdom, British Oversea Territories, and Europe. The tender process is currently in the active stage, with proposals to be submitted via an open procurement method. The tender period will end on 30th August 2024, at 17:00 GMT+1, while the contract is expected to start on 9th September 2024 and conclude by 31st December 2024. Participating in this tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in IT health checks and cybersecurity. Companies that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, given the nature of the services and the Council’s requirement for assurance against unauthorised access to their systems. This contract, valued between £10,000 and £25,000, offers an excellent opportunity for businesses adept in network security and IT infrastructure assessment to expand their portfolios and establish a strong working relationship with a reputable public sector client like Worcestershire County Council. ## Notice The Council's PSN Certification is due for renewal on the 26th March 2025. As part of the process of renewing this the Council must submit its most recent IT Healthcheck (ITHC). The ITHC will provide assurance that the Council's external systems are protected from unauthorised access or change, and they do not provide an unauthorised entry point into systems that consume PSN services. Furthermore, the internal systems will be tested to provide further assurance that no significant weaknesses exist on network infrastructure or individual systems that could allow one internal device to intentionally or unintentionally impact on the security of another. The Council is only seeking proposals from NCSC approved CHECK companies to deliver this year's ITHC.
