This tender, classified under the "Software package and information systems" category, is active and is conducted through an open procurement method. The submission deadline for proposals is 11 March 2020, and the total value of the contract is £60,000, with the contract period commencing on 31 March 2020 and lasting until 31 March 2022. The services are to be delivered in the East of England. This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in cybersecurity solutions and data analytics services. Firms with experience in developing or providing integrated logging and threat analysis tools, particularly those who can address the complexity of managing logs across multiple data centres, will find this tender particularly relevant. Additionally, companies that can demonstrate capability in providing responsive support and innovative solutions for healthcare environments may have a competitive edge in this process. ## Notice Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust provide datacentre services from two locations on VMware vSphere clusters, with over 250 virtual systems. Each datacentre provides application services for users, including file storage, database and web hosting. Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust currently has no technology for centralised logging and analytics. A legacy solution is used for consuming syslog data from switches/firewalls but data storage is limited, and this provides no analytics. Investigations involve searching logs on individual appliances and attempting to piece data together manually which is very time consuming and gives inconsistent results. Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust require a SIEM solution to meet the following requirement: * Ingestion of logs from multiple sources spread across 2 datacentres and 3rd party hosting. Some resources are accessible from the Internet. * Perform threat analytics on those logs and allow correlation of data for investigations. Example Use Case 1 Royal Papworth Hospital receives alerts about endpoints exhibiting suspicious behaviour e.g. connecting to malicious websites. Because we use DHCP, we are unable to work out what endpoint was using that IP address at that specific time, what user was logged in to the device and what resources they accessed. Example Use Case 2 Security alerts such as malware breakouts are difficult to track and require manual investigation on multiple dashboards. Timescales on this project is for the complete delivery of solution no later than 31/03/2020 All Terms and Conditions are as per the NHS Standard T&Cs. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/70d0edb9-4a24-4b4c-baa5-b880f1b12bb9 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Mar 2020 | | Submission deadline | 11 Mar 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Mar 2020 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS SBS | | Locality | HUNTINGDON | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE29 6FH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Huntingdonshire | | Electoral ward | Brampton | | Westminster constituency | Huntingdon | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 2 Mar 2020 at 15:06 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/70d0edb9-4a24-4b4c-baa5-b880f1b12bb9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/70d0edb9-4a24-4b4c-baa5-b880f1b12bb9 2nd March 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://secure.sourcedogg.com/profile/1410ba09-ae18-49c1-b969-a8d28650cf8c/requests/33047 Please follow this Link to the Request on SourceDogg in order to apply ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
