## Summary

The Pension Protection Fund procured information and cyber security services to support preparation for information security audits carried out throughout the year. The requirement falls within IT consulting, software development, internet and support services, with professional information security support as its practical focus. Work is associated with the Pension Protection Fund in Croydon, England, and the requirement covers delivery in the United Kingdom and internationally. The buyer is the Pension Protection Fund, a public body responsible for protecting members of eligible defined benefit pension schemes. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist cyber security, information assurance, audit-readiness and IT security consultancies able to provide recurring professional support.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework. The tender deadline was 17 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 20 July 2026 to Inavate Consulting Ltd for £51,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The procurement description also provides for an option to extend for a fourth year, taking the potential term to 2030. The awarded supplier is Inavate Consulting Ltd. The published requirement was treated as a services contract, with the procurement covering professional support for information security audits conducted throughout each year.

This award demonstrates established demand from the Pension Protection Fund for specialist support that helps an organisation prepare for repeated information security audits. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in information security governance, audit preparation, evidence gathering, control review and remediation planning, alongside the ability to provide dependable professional advice across recurring audit activity. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so a focused specialist consultancy could be relevant if it can demonstrate the necessary technical capability, assurance knowledge and delivery capacity. Experience of supporting regulated, financially sensitive or public-sector organisations would help a supplier show that it can handle structured assurance work, communicate clearly with stakeholders and maintain consistent support across multiple audit cycles.
