## Summary

UK Biobank Limited procured threat intelligence services to identify references to UK Biobank, its data, credentials and other cyber security risks. The requirement covers proactive threat intelligence, dark web monitoring and brand protection using proprietary and third-party sources. Services include continuous monitoring of global and emerging threats, adding intelligence sources when required, real-time alerts for critical threats, and analytical reporting to support risk-based prioritisation and remediation. The supplier is also expected to integrate monitoring tools, dashboards and intelligence feeds with UK Biobank’s security technologies where required, provide specialist advice on interpreting findings and recommending action, and support multilingual investigations and risk mitigation. Delivery covers UK Biobank’s operations across England, including Stockport and other English regions.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, using the G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement. IBM UK Limited was awarded the contract on 1 September 2026. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and is valued at £364,775. Three bids were recorded. Evaluation allocated 50% to UK Biobank’s core requirements, 15% to additional requirements, 5% to supplier experience and the delivery team, and 30% to price. The procurement comprised one lot, which is recorded as cancelled, while the related award and contract are active. The procedure was justified as permitted under the G-Cloud 14 framework, with the procurement stated to fall outside the directive’s scope.

This award indicates demand from a health-sector organisation for an integrated cyber threat intelligence capability rather than a point monitoring service. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need credible coverage of dark web, open and emerging global threat sources, supported by proprietary and third-party intelligence. They would need to demonstrate dependable continuous monitoring, rapid critical-threat alerting and clear analytical reporting that helps security teams prioritise remediation. Relevant capability also includes integration with existing security technologies, dashboards and intelligence feeds, specialist advisory expertise, and multilingual support for investigations. Experience of delivering comparable services and a suitably capable delivery team would matter, alongside the ability to meet detailed core and additional requirements at an appropriate service price.
