## Summary

East West Railway Company Limited bought services to establish and maintain a managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) capability for its railway organisation. The requirement covers setting up the capability and providing ongoing operation and maintenance, rather than a one-off IT supply. The procurement is classified as IT services. The delivery location is recorded as the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery site is identified in the process data. This is relevant to security operations providers able to build and run a managed SOC for a transport-sector buyer, including suppliers with the people and technical capability to provide continuing security monitoring and operations. The scope is expressed as a single requirement rather than separate service components.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to MTI Technology Limited. The award is active, and the contract is also active. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026, for £207,799. The award and contract relate to one lot, although that lot is marked cancelled in the tender information. East West Railway used a limited procedure, making a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework under its prescribed call-off process; the recorded rationale says the procurement was outside the scope of the directive. The stated award criterion was price. Six bids were recorded for the lot. The contract period is not included in the published process data.

This award demonstrates demand from East West Railway for an externally provided SOC capability that can be established and then maintained as an ongoing service. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement should be able to show that they can deliver managed security operations for a transport organisation, with sufficient operational capacity to sustain the service after implementation. The buyer used a G-Cloud 14 framework call-off route, so experience supplying through that framework and working within its call-off process is commercially relevant. Price was the stated award criterion, making a competitive cost model important alongside credible delivery capability. Six bids were recorded, indicating competition for this requirement. The process does not set out specific technical standards, accreditations or staffing qualifications, so these should not be treated as confirmed requirements.
