## Summary

Cyngor Sir Ceredigion County Council commissioned specialist cyber security and IT assurance services for its systems in Ceredigion. The work covers a Public Service Network IT Health Check, providing assurance that the council’s systems meet the information security requirements for maintaining its Code of Connection to the Public Service Network. The provider also supports the council to obtain Cyber Essentials self-assessment certification and Cyber Essentials Plus certification. This is an IT consulting, software development, internet and support service. The requirement is delivered in Ceredigion, Wales, for the county council as the public sector buyer. It is a focused cyber security compliance and certification engagement rather than a general IT support contract.

The procurement is complete and the single requirement was awarded to OmniCyber Security Ltd, an SME. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 2 July 2026 to 1 July 2027. Its value is £16,925 excluding VAT, or £20,310 including VAT. The council used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The selected provider is responsible for the full requirement, covering the Public Service Network IT Health Check and support with both Cyber Essentials certifications. The award is recorded as active and the contract is active. The procurement was handled as one lot, with no separate awards or suppliers identified. The published outcome confirms a completed appointment rather than an invitation to submit proposals.

This requirement demonstrates demand from a Welsh county council for a supplier able to combine public-sector network assurance with practical cyber security certification support. A credible competitor for similar work would need capability to carry out a Public Service Network IT Health Check, assess systems against information security requirements, and understand the controls needed to maintain a Code of Connection to the Public Service Network. Experience supporting Cyber Essentials self-assessment and Cyber Essentials Plus certification would also be central. Suppliers should be able to deliver a complete, joined-up compliance engagement rather than only testing or certification advice. The successful supplier’s SME status indicates that this type of focused specialist service can be delivered by a smaller cyber security business.
