## Summary

The National Cyber Security Centre's (NCSC) Cyber Incident Response (CIR) Service procurement process was completed by Ofgem to secure services from an NCSC-assured provider to handle major cyber incidents. Accenture (UK) Ltd was awarded the contract with a total value of £540,000. This procurement process, categorised under networks and computer support services, used an open procedure method. The contract, which began on 9th September 2024 and will conclude on 8th September 2027, covers multiple territories including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, United Kingdom, and the rest of the world. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 1st January 2024 and the award publication date of 18th September 2024.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in network infrastructure, internet and intranet networks, data network support services, and computer and software consultancy services. Companies specialising in systems and technical consultancy can leverage this contract to showcase their expertise in the high-demand field of cyber incident response, potentially gaining visibility and credibility in the market. This opportunity is particularly beneficial for SMEs looking to advance their business growth through high-profile contracts and collaboration with prominent government entities like Ofgem.

## Notice

The NCSC recommends that all UK organisations should use an NCSC-assured Cyber Incident Response provider when dealing with cyber incidents. Ofgem therefore requires a CIR Assured supplier to help to recover from major cyber incidents (if applicable) and deliver a full investigation of the incident along with recommendations on how to prevent it happening again.
