4) Transparency Agenda

On 02/04/2014, Government introduced its Government Security

Classifications (GSC) scheme which replaced Government Protective

Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect is the reduction in the number of

security classifications used. All bidders were required to make

themselves aware of the changes as it may impact this requirement. This

link provides information on the GSC at:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-security- classifications

Cyber Essentials is a mandatory requirement for Central Government

contracts which involve handling personal information or provide certain

ICT products/services. Government is taking steps to reduce the levels of

cyber security risk in its supply chain through the Cyber Essentials scheme. The scheme defines a set of controls which, when implemented, will provide organisations with basic protection from the most prevalent forms of threat coming from the internet. To participate in this procurement, bidders were required to demonstrate they comply with the technical requirements prescribed by Cyber Essentials, for services under and in connection with this procurement.

CCS reserved the right to award a framework to any bidder whose final score

was within 1% of the last position. For Lot 4, 3 suppliers were awarded a place as opposed to the number of 2 as was originally stated in the Contract Notice that was published on 23/05/2024
