## Summary

The Cabinet Office has concluded the procurement process for a contract concerning the Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA) Cyber and Information Security. The tender, classified under IT services, was executed using a selective procurement method, specifically as a Call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement process, led by the Cabinet Office located at 70 Whitehall, London, aimed to establish an effective CISO function, including security and information risk advice & management. With a contract value of £1,000,000, the procurement cycle progressed from the tender period ending on 25th July 2025, leading to the contract award on 30th July 2025. The contract period spans from 4th August 2025 to 3rd August 2026.

This tender presents promising opportunities for IT firms specializing in consultancy, software development, and risk management services. Given the nature of IT services required, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can find ample prospects for growth and business expansion. While the competitive landscape includes a variety of IT service providers, those with proven expertise in cyber security and experience with government frameworks, such as Actica Consulting Limited who won the contract, will find this an attractive opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities and establish a foothold within government contracts. Businesses aligned with these criteria may leverage this contract type to strengthen their service offerings and market presence.
