This procurement, valued at £200,000, is aimed at enhancing the organisation's cyber security infrastructure over the next five years. The platform aims at providing advanced e-mail filtering, allowing end users to report suspicious messages, and ensuring bi-lingual delivery in Welsh and English. Tender submissions should be made electronically via the eTenderWales portal. Key deadlines include the tender period ending on 13 January 2025, with invitations for the second stage to be issued on 23 January 2025. The delivery location is Cardiff Bay. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cyber security solutions, particularly those offering advanced e-mail protection systems. Companies with expertise in providing bi-lingual support and end-user security utilities would be well-positioned to compete. The contract includes the supply, installation, and ongoing support of the email security solution, paving the way for strong, long-term client relationships with a high-profile public institution. Given the selective procurement method under a restricted procedure, companies should ensure compliance with the detailed economic and technical selection criteria available in the procurement documents. ## Notice Currently, the Senedd has a contract in place providing an e-mail security platform which forms an important part of the organisation's cyber security infrastructure and programme. The solution delivers advanced e-mail filtering functionality and gives end users the ability to report suspicious messages. This additional layer of security ensures we are far more likely to detect and stop attacks which are not detected by our Microsoft e-mail and security products, and includes Welsh/English delivery and end user interaction. This project is designed to ensure the Senedd is able to benefit from this type of capability for the next contract cycle. The proposed solution will need to provide email filtering, give end users the ability to report suspicious e-mails, and provide the security team with a native and efficient means of communicating with the affected users, regardless of the end users' platform/OS. End-user-facing content needs to offer bi-lingual delivery, tailored to the users' language preference. The contract will include the supply and installation of the solution, with ongoing support. The term of the contract will be for a 5 year period. The previous tender process that was run under PQQ reference 33572 has been stopped. This is a new tender process for an Email Security Platform and is being run under PQQ reference 33626. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Currently, the Senedd has a contract in place providing an e-mail security platform which forms an important part of the organisation's cyber security infrastructure and programme.
