## Summary

Scotland Excel, as the procurement centre of expertise for local government in Scotland, is collaborating with the Digital Office for Scottish Local Government to engage in a planning stage procurement process for a Security Operations Centre and managed detection and response service. The tender, titled "A 24/7/365 Managed Security Operations Centre and Detection Response Service," falls under the security software development services category with an estimated value of £7,000,000. Interested suppliers are invited to register their interest, and the future notice date for communication is set for 29th November 2024.

This procurement opportunity aims to provide a comprehensive security solution for all Scottish councils and potentially other public sector organisations. Businesses specialized in security software development services, data security, and file security software development are well-suited to compete for this tender. The planned framework, intended to be a single lot framework, offers potential benefits such as financial economies, operational efficiencies, and the establishment of a sector-wide standard for security solutions, presenting an opportunity for business growth and collaboration within the public sector security domain.

## Notice

We are looking for a partner who can help implement and monitor a managed security operations centre solution, and respond to security events as they arise. This solution will be a common platform to provide visibility of security events from multiple sources in both the cloud and on-premises environment of the contracting local authority. The service will also provide a 24/7/365 monitoring of the platform and will take agreed upon delegated actions within agreed SLAs based on the categorisation of the security event. The solution should be based on M365 technologies that allow source log files to be held within the Local Authority. (this update was suggested, but I want your advice on it.)
