## Summary

The procurement process managed by London & Quadrant Housing Trust focuses on enhancing the Security Operations Centre (SOC) services during out-of-hours periods. This tender, under the "Security Operations - Out of Hours" title, is in the tender stage with key deadlines involving submission by 24 April 2026, and the awarding phase ending on 15 May 2026. The service, classified under Information Technology Services (CPV code: 72222300), addresses the need for efficient protective monitoring and incident response, especially during non-business hours. The open procedure procurement method encourages broad participation and is applicable across the United Kingdom, aligned with legal standards referenced by the 2023/54 UK legislation. The contract period is set to start on 4 June 2026 and will continue until 4 April 2029, providing a structured establishment for SOC services over three years, with options for extensions.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for those specialising in IT services, particularly firms capable of providing robust security monitoring solutions. Businesses with expertise in Microsoft Sentinel, Defender product suites, and a proven track record with similar large-scale organisations stand in a strong position to benefit from this contract. The London & Quadrant Housing Trust seeks a collaborative partner to serve as an extension to their internal SOC, dealing with incident triage and escalating issues effectively during out-of-hours. Those who can offer additional investigatory support, reporting, and compliance with EU and UK GDPR standards will find this engagement particularly rewarding, paving the way for long-term relationships and expansions within the growing security operation market.

## Notice

1. Background LQ Group has a well-established Security Operations Centre (SOC) for protective monitoring and response. Internal security analysts triage and respond to security incidents according to policy. This work is carried out during regular office hours. Due to this shift pattern, we rely on hardening and automated response during out-of-hours. The lack of human triage increases our risk of organizational compromise during nights, weekends, and bank holidays. This risk is especially severe when multiple days pass without SOC staff on shift. 2. Objectives * Successful procurement means establishing a relationship with a security partner capable of providing the OOH SOC Services required to protect the business. * This partner should be an extension of the internal LQ Group SOC, supporting us to further mature our Security Operations. * Establishment of a contract over a three-year period.
