## Summary

Scotland Excel, the procurement centre of expertise for local government in Scotland, has issued a Prior Information Notice (PIN) for a Managed Security Operations Centre. This planned procurement, set in the services category, aims to establish a security solution servicing all 32 Scottish councils as well as other Scottish public sector organisations. The initiative falls under the classification of security software development services and is part of a wider effort to simplify and standardise security systems across Scottish councils. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage with key dates including a prospective procurement notice set for 17th February 2025. The main location for this tender is within the region of the United Kingdom (UKM).

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in security software development to engage in a substantial public sector project valued at £13 million. Companies offering expertise in implementing and monitoring managed security operations centres, and those providing round-the-clock security monitoring and response, would be well-suited to compete. The project promises consistent and interoperable security measures across various councils, providing operational efficiencies and shared learning within the public sector. Businesses capable of delivering robust, scalable security solutions for both cloud and on-premises environments stand to benefit from the opportunities for growth and collaboration presented by this procurement.

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.
