## Summary

Falkirk Council procured a managed detection and response service delivered through software and specialist cyber-security expertise. The requirement covers continuous, round-the-clock monitoring, threat detection, advanced analytics and human intervention to identify and neutralise cyber threats before they cause significant impact. It is a technology service for information systems and IT software, supporting the council’s operational cyber-security needs. The buyer is Falkirk Council, based in Larbert. The scope is focused on managed detection and response rather than a standalone software licence: suppliers need to provide the monitoring capability, analytical tools and specialist expertise required to operate the service continuously for the council.

This procurement has been awarded following a further competition under the Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework, Lot 3: Software. The process began on 8 January 2026. Softcat Plc was selected as supplier, with an award value of £950,611 including the published currency of GBP. The associated contract is recorded as active. Two bids were recorded for the competition. The award description confirms that the requirement is for managed detection and response software and service provision. The published outcome identifies one award and one supplier; no separate lot awards or alternative evaluation weighting are stated in the procurement information.

This award demonstrates a substantial council requirement for an always-on cyber-security operation combining managed software, threat monitoring, advanced analytics and specialist human expertise. Suppliers competing for comparable work with Falkirk Council would need credible capability across security operations, threat detection, incident identification and response, and the interpretation of security data at all hours. They would also need the operational capacity to sustain round-the-clock monitoring and provide a dependable service to a public-sector organisation. Experience delivering managed detection and response, integrating software with expert analysts, and neutralising threats before they materially affect council services would strengthen a competitor’s position when this requirement returns to market.
