## Summary

Renfrewshire Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of Security Operations Centre Services (Interim) under a limited procurement method. The services will be provided by Quorum Cyber Security Limited, based in Edinburgh, and will ensure 24/7 monitoring to identify and mitigate potential cyber threats. This contract was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition due to the absence of viable alternatives and is valued at £54,500. The procurement method was justified under Regulation 6 of the Public Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016, citing technical reasons for a lack of competition. The awarded contract was signed on 27 May 2024 and is active as of the award date on 1 July 2025, with the services being located in the UKM83 region, specifically in Paisley.

This contract provides opportunities for businesses in the cyber security and ICT sectors to understand the procurement needs of regional authorities, especially those with specific technical requirements. Businesses specialising in managed security operations can gain insights into the procurement strategies employed by local councils, positioning themselves for future opportunities that may arise as the council prepares for a more competitive tender process. The nature of this process highlights the demand for niche technical expertise, making it an excellent opportunity for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with unique capabilities in cybersecurity to engage with public sector clients.

## Notice

ICT Services have a requirement for the continuation of a Managed Security Operations Service which gives the Council 24/7 monitoring ensuring any potential cyber threats are identified and mitigated quickly, minimising potential damage and downtime by ensuring the Council can intervene at the earliest opportunity.
