## Summary

East Renfrewshire Council procured email protection to improve detection of phishing, business email compromise, impersonation attacks and account-takeover attempts. The requirement includes AI-driven detection of changing threat patterns, rather than relying only on traditional signature-based filtering, plus continuous monitoring and remediation of threats, including malicious emails identified after delivery. This is cybersecurity software and associated protection for the Council’s email environment, delivered in East Renfrewshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Trustmarque Solutions Ltd was selected for the single lot. The Council used a limited procedure: a direct bid through the Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework, without a prior call for competition. One bid was recorded. The contract value is £182,012.40. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026. No separate award date or contract-period dates are recorded in the process information.

For suppliers competing when East Renfrewshire Council next requires email protection, this award indicates demand for a solution combining AI-driven threat detection with continuous monitoring and remediation. Credible suppliers would need to show that their service can address phishing, business email compromise, impersonation and account takeover, and identify evolving attack patterns beyond conventional signature-based filtering. The requirement also places importance on finding and remediating malicious messages after delivery. The Council procured through a direct bid under the Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework, so familiarity with supplying technology products through that route would be commercially relevant.
