## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has completed the awarding process for the GovAssure 2024/25 contract, which focuses on cyber security assurance within the government, aligning with the Government Cyber Security Strategy. This contract, classified under the Information technology services industry (CPV code 72222300), involves a comprehensive assessment of cyber risks management. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract period begins on 19 December 2024 and ends on 19 March 2025, with services to be delivered in London, United Kingdom. Key dates include the tender period ending on 2 December 2024 and the award date on 19 December 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for IT service providers, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to showcase their expertise in cyber security assessment and consultancy. The awarded contract to BSI Professional Services (UK) Limited, an SME, demonstrates the potential for smaller firms to secure valuable government contracts. Businesses specialising in cybersecurity, risk management, and IT infrastructure will find this procurement process conducive to their growth, providing them with the platform to engage with high-profile government projects and enhance their market presence.

## Notice

GovAssure is the cyber security assurance approach for government that has now replaced the cyber security element of the Departmental Security Health Check (DSHC) since April 2023. The GovAssure assurance approach meets the requirements for an objective understanding of government cyber security as set out in the Government Cyber Security Strategy. GovAssure uses the National Cyber Security Centre's Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF). GovAssure is a five stage process which uses a systematic and comprehensive approach to assess outcomes and to identify the extent to which cyber risks to essential services are being managed by the government organisation responsible for them.
