This open procurement process invites responses from interested parties until 9th December 2020, with a project value of £20,000. The contract is set to run from 4th January 2021 to 31st December 2025, focusing on a rolling plan for penetration testing and infrastructure security evaluation across the college's applications and services, primarily based in Plymouth, England. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in cybersecurity and IT services to expand their client base. Companies adept in penetration testing methodologies or those offering infrastructure security assessments would find this tender well-aligned with their capabilities. Additionally, businesses engaged in technical auditing and application security testing will be well-positioned to compete effectively for this contract. ## Notice City College Plymouth are seeking quotations for a 3-5 year rolling plan of penetration testing / infrastructure security testing with 5 days testing per year. It is expected that years 1 and 2 of the testing programme would look at specific applications, then in year 3 we would want a more general black box test programme to test broader infrastructure security and finally in years 4 and 5 go back to looking at specific or new applications. Ideally as part of the 5 days in year 1 we would like some initial black box scanning of applications/services with then the focus to move onto testing 4 or 5 specific applications credentialed with firewall protections in place and then without to assess the base application security.
