## Summary

Staffordshire County Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "SOC-SIEM Service Provision," which focuses on systems consultancy services, particularly related to security incident and event management. The engagement period is set to conclude on 2nd September 2019. This process aims to shape a draft specification for a Managed Security Service to include a Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM) solution. Located in Stafford, England, this initiative involves a budgetary figure provided by the Council for prospective suppliers to consider.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in cybersecurity, particularly those that offer systems consultancy and network management software services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the Council is seeking insights to refine the draft specification through a request for information (RFI) process. Potential competitors should be prepared to demonstrate their expertise in Managed Security Services and SIEM solutions to align with the Council's needs effectively.

## Notice

Staffordshire County Council (The Council) is seeking assistance from economic operators interested in helping shape the draft specification for a Managed Security Service (MSS) to encompass a Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM) service and associated Security Operations Centre (SOC) monitoring and services. The Council has produced a draft specification for the essential criteria that they expect the SOC\SIEM service would need to deliver. The council's indicative budgetary figure has been included within the specification. In addition to the draft specification, the Council is seeking answers to several questions as part of an RFI process in order to assist with the prioritisation and shaping of the draft specification. Should the Council choose to procure a solution in the future, a compliant procurement approach will be initiated.
