## Summary

The procurement process for the contract titled "Cyber Security- Security Operation Centre (SOC)" was initiated by The Electoral Commission, located in London, England. The process pertains to the industry category of software packages and information systems, with an additional focus on IT services like consulting, software development, internet and support.

The contract, worth £302,000, commences on the 20th of August, 2025, and will run until the 19th of August, 2029. The procurement method was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, and it is essential that the new managed cyber security service and SOC comply with UK Data Protection legislation.

Engaging in this field can enhance a company’s profile and expand its foothold in the growing cybersecurity market.
