## Summary

Scotland Excel, a procurement centre of expertise for local government in Scotland, is initiating the planning stage for a managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) in collaboration with the Digital Office for Scottish Local Government. The project, titled "Managed Security Operations Centre," falls under the industry category of security software development services and has a total estimated value of £13,000,000. This procurement will provide a 24/7/365 monitoring and response service for security events, supporting all 32 Scottish councils. The Future Notice Date for further information is set for 17th February 2025, and the primary delivery location is within Scotland (UKM).

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in security software development and managed security services to engage with Scotland's public sector. Companies with capabilities in cloud-based and on-premises security monitoring, as well as those able to provide responsive action plans for security incidents, will find this tender particularly advantageous. Businesses that demonstrate a strong track record in delivering comprehensive and scalable security solutions will be well-suited to compete. The framework aims to standardise and enhance security measures across councils, creating long-term business growth and collaboration opportunities within the public sector in Scotland.

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.
