Cyber Security Services 3
The contract covers the Cyber Security Services 3 dynamic purchasing system operated by Crown Commercial Service for cyber security services procured by central government departments and the wider public sector. The buyer is the Government Commercial Agency, working in the UK public sector procurement function, and the DPS allows customers to invite appointed suppliers to compete for relevant cyber services through call-off competitions. Suppliers are expected to provide cyber services that meet the DPS’s certification, standards, services and experience filters, with performance governed by customer-specific tenders once admitted to the system. The estimated total value is £800 million and the DPS has been extended to end on 13 February 2029, covering delivery across the United Kingdom. The single most critical requirement is that bidders must satisfy the DPS filters for certification, services, standards and experience in order to request participation and later be invited to compete for call-off work.
