## Summary

The Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust initiated a procurement process titled "Cyber Security improvement plan" in the industry category of security software development services (CPV code 72212730). The procurement, which proceeded through a competitive quotation below the threshold, focused on improving cyber security and involved a part-time interim CISO/Virtual CISO role for 30 days at a discounted rate. The procurement stage is complete, with the tender period ending on 31 October 2022, and the contract running from 8 November 2022 to 31 March 2023. The total value of the contract was GBP 23,400, and it was structured to favour SMEs but not VCSEs.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cyber security services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises seeking to expand their footprint in the public sector. Organisations with expertise in security software development and capability to offer part-time or virtual CISO services would find this contract highly suitable. The streamlined competitive quotation process also makes it accessible for smaller firms to compete effectively in the market. Such opportunities can help businesses build their portfolios, enhance their reputation, and secure future contracts within the NHS and the broader public sector.
