## Summary

The Scottish Government has completed a procurement process for the "Provision of Safeguarder IT Solution", classified under information technology services. This tender aimed to establish a new Microsoft 365 tenant dedicated to the Safeguarding function, ensuring a professional and secured environment for handling government data. The services are to be delivered remotely across Scotland, with potential in-person training in Edinburgh. This procurement process, identified under CASE 737476, was conducted through a limited procurement method, specifically via a call-off using the G Cloud 13 Framework. The award was made to Bridgeall and the contract was signed on 6th November 2024, with a total value of £345,749.71.

The "Provision of Safeguarder IT Solution" tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in IT services, particularly those with expertise in secure government data handling and Microsoft 365 solutions. SMEs with capabilities in remote service delivery and security configuration aligned with UK Government standards are well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. Businesses that can provide robust BYOD policies and comprehensive security measures will find similar opportunities highly beneficial for their growth.

## Notice

A new Microsoft 365 tenant is required to be created, dedicated solely to the Safeguarding function. The new Microsoft 365 tenant must have its own domain to provide a professional and consistent approach for Safeguarders. The new Microsoft tenant must be hardened from a security point of view making use of the Microsoft 365 Guidance for UK Government Secure Configuration Blueprint. This blueprint was designed in combination with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), Microsoft, and the UK Government, and sets out several steps to configure a tenant to improve its security posture to a level suitable for handling and storing of government data. The new tenant must also be configured to allow the Safeguarding users to bring their own device (BYOD), but have controls in place that guard against data exfiltration and provide robust security and authentication measures.
