## Summary

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has awarded a contract for "Security Testing for MHRA," which falls under the technical testing, analysis, and consultancy services category. The procurement method utilised was a selective tender process, with a total contract value of £450,000. The contract period is set from 8th October 2018 to 7th October 2021, with the award being officially confirmed on 7th October 2018 and published on 19th November 2018. The security services are required to support various projects and including mandatory IT Health Checks at MHRA's locations in London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the cybersecurity and IT consultancy sectors, particularly those specialising in security testing services. Companies that can offer flexible and rapid response capabilities for security requirements would be well-suited to compete for future contracts. Additionally, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may find opportunities here, as this procurement allows for their participation, stimulating potential growth and collaboration within the industry.

## Notice

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (the Agency) wishes to consolidate its security testing requirement for the next 3 years. Our transformation programme will require ambitious timelines in our projects and programmes. The need to deliver security testing requirements flexibly and possibly at short notice will be key. For this reason, we are seeking a 'call off' type arrangement with a single specialist security testing provider so security testing requirements can be met flexibly, at possibly short notice so not delaying project timelines and to a consistent and high quality. In addition to security testing associated with projects the Agency retains a requirement for annual IT Health Checks at its MHRA/CPRD centre and at NIBSC, not least to support its PSN and PND accreditations. However, given the nature of these tests then it is fully expected that a longer lead in period will need to be agreed with the chosen supplier.
