## Summary

The Manchester City Council has awarded a contract for the procurement of IT services. The contract, titled "TC1191 - Secure Email and Large File Transfer," was tendered through a direct award method. The contract value is £116,753 in GBP, with a contract period starting on November 1, 2023, and ending on December 31, 2026. The procurement stage was completed, and the tender period ended on October 22, 2023. The contract aims to enhance data security and broaden coverage for the City Council's 8100 MCC users. The procurement process was initiated by the Manchester City Council and the supplier is ZIVVER LIMITED.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses providing IT services, consulting, software development, and Internet support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are considered suitable for this procurement. Businesses interested in secure email and file transfer solutions can leverage this contract to expand their market presence. The contract requires active error detection through machine learning to mitigate data leak risks and improve overall data security for the Manchester City Council's operations.

## Notice

Zivver provides email message level encryption, large secure file transfer capabilities with unlimited recall. Through seamless integration with Outlook and M365, regardless of your device or whether you're in the cloud or on-premises. Human error is the leading cause of data leaks; sending an email to the wrong person, using cc instead of Bcc, or sharing the wrong information or file. These errors can now be proactively fixed before they occur with active error detection, powered by machine learning business rules. The current contract/service in place only provides for 2000 specific MCC users whereas this new solution will cover the whole of the 8100 MCC user base so there is greater coverage, enhanced security and much better value for money delivered by this service. The plan is to run a 2-month PoC from November 23 with the aim to provide 2 months to test & refine the solution ahead of a go/no go towards the end of the year and before we have to service notice on the existing contract.
