In April 2015 the MOD signed a thirteen year contract with Leidos Europe Ltd to provide the procurement and inventory management of commodity items (as well as the storage and distribution services) historically provided in-house by the Logistic Commodities and Services Operating Centre. Leidos, working with the MOD, will transform the way these services are delivered to ensure requirements continue to be met whilst providing best value for money for the department. The organisation delivering these services is known as Team Leidos. The Requirement is to procure DEXIS IXS sensors which have already been ‘whitelisted’ for use within existing MOD IT infrastructure. Estimated quantities: 687 units The DEXIS IXS sensor has been MOD directed due to compatibility with existing MOD IT systems. Introducing alternatives would require extensive IT re integration resulting in significant additional cost, delay, and delivery risk. LSL is therefore proceeding via a Direct Award in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. Under Condition 41, Schedule 5 (Direct Award Justifications), “Changing supplier would create disproportionate technical difficulties, incompatibility risks and Significant delay. “These conditions would apply if an alternative to the DEXIS sensor were introduced. For clarity, the reference to “changing supplier” within the Procurement Act 2023 relates to a change in the OEM, in line with the requirement. Competition will continue to be maintained at the distributor level, with procurement conducted among approved distributors in the market. The purpose of this tender notice is to ensure all interested companies, suppliers, and manufacturers are aware of this opportunity. Suppliers are invited to submit all responses for the proposed tender via the Jaggaer platform. To request the tender documents, please log in to Jaggaer and follow the steps to access the Leidos opportunity where this tender has been published. Should Bidders have any queries regarding the system, please contact the support team on the front page of the Jaggaer website, where it says 'Need assistance?', for help.

Lot - 1: FRH Cyber Security Tooling & Managed Services for GWR & AWC AI-powered managed cybersecurity is essential to counter a threat landscape marked by short attack timelines and sophisticated automated attacks. To address this, the organisation will procure a single integrated 24/7 managed security service covering Email Security, Network Detection and Response (NDR), Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). The solution uses AI-driven automation, machine learning, and a managed SOC model to deliver real-time detection, triage, containment, and recovery across the estate. Automated detection and response reduce alert fatigue, cut mean time to respond (MTTR) and eliminate workflow bottlenecks that inhibit manual or traditional SOC operations. AI-powered response enables machine-speed containment for threats detected anywhere across the network, endpoint, email, and cloud services, while ensuring seamless integration of new and existing tooling. *- Strategic Objectives Enhance Threat Detection and Response Capabilities: Use AI-powered analysis and automation across email, endpoints, networks, and cloud environments for real-time detection and disruption of evolving threats, including zero-day attacks and business email compromise. The service provides real-time, data-driven insights and analytics, ensuring high-fidelity detection and response across all monitored domains. Reduce Dwell Time: AI automation enables rapid correlation and response, reducing dwell time from days to minutes in managed environments by minimising manual analysis lags and increasing accuracy through automated playbooks for containment actions. Ensure Regulatory Compliance: Continuous monitoring, automated reporting, and audit-grade response documentation support compliance mandates (e.g., GDPR, NIS2) and provide ready evidence for regulatory investigations. Ensure alignment and certification to industry best practices CSO/IEC 42001 (Artificial Intelligence Management System), ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management System), ISO 22301 (Business Continuity Management System (BCMS)), Cyber Essentials, and Cyber Essentials Plus. Enable Proactive Defence: The solution supports automated threat hunting and anomaly detection to intervene early in the attack lifecycle, rather than relying solely on alert-based or reactive workflows. Optimise Resource Allocation: Automated detection and response to significantly reduce time spent dealing with email-based threats, allowing staff to focus on higher-value work. *- Scope of Services The organisation seeks a 24/7 fully managed security service covering: AI-driven Email Security, integrating threat intelligence and auto-remediation (using technologies such as Mimecast and Microsoft Defender). AI-driven NDR with behaviour analytics, automated response, and cloud app coverage (including M365, leveraging DarkTrace). AI-driven EDR integrated with SIEM, delivering automated detection, triage, and containment. AI-driven SIEM with unified log collection, AI-powered correlation, and enrichment from endpoint, network, and email telemetry. Wide compatibility and integration with common enterprise IaaS, PaaS and SaaS providers. Automated response and proactive threat hunting are built into the service. AI tunes out false positives in real time. NDR, EDR, and Email Security are orchestrated via SIEM, providing a centralised view and seamless handoff between detection, investigation, and response. *- Key Benefits Value for Money: Competitive tendering for integrated AI-driven managed services enables benchmarking, cost optimisation, and elimination of margin losses from operational inefficiency. Strengthening Security Capability and Outcomes: The solution delivers 24/7 managed detection and response with proven incident investigation, escalation, and rapid containment. Automated triage addresses >90% of alerts, moving human analysts to exception management and threat hunting. Reducing Operational and Delivery Risk: Relying on automated incident response closes the talent gap, addresses analyst burnout, and places delivery risk with suppliers that maintain AI-enhanced SOC capabilities. SLA-driven performance and machine-speed automated actions are formally contracted. Improving Governance, Auditability, and Transparency: Automated, AI-driven audit trails ensure end-to-end traceability of every incident, action, and management decision, enabling regulatory reporting and internal audit compliance. Enabling Scalability and Future Flexibility: AI-driven architecture processes thousands more alerts per day without proportional increases in headcount, supporting scale as business needs and threat volumes evolve. Supporting Compliance and Regulatory Obligations: The managed SOC operates within recognised frameworks (e.g., ISO 27001, ISO 42001, ISO 22301, Cyber Essentials and UK NIS and GDPR) and supplies compliance reporting and rapid incident response evidence proactively.

The contracting Authority ('Authority') in relation to this notice is the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC), on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS). The scope of services has been structured into key service areas and outlined below. It is important to note that all services listed are anticipated to be delivered by the successful Supplier, but amendments may be introduced, by the Authority, between this notice and the UK4 Tender Notice. The core services are expected to remain relatively static during the term of any contract created through this procurement and will ostensibly be required to be delivered on the current software platforms, as detailed elsewhere in this notice. However, these services may evolve during the contract term, driven by anticipated police reform. The Authority will present further considerations regarding these changes within the market engagement event. The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), which hosts the National Police Chiefs Councils' (NPCC's) Digital Public Contact (DPC) portfolio, is hosting a Pre-Market Engagement event for its forthcoming Unified Services Procurement (USP). This event will provide a comprehensive overview of the strategic vision, current capabilities, and future development of the DPC platform, Single Online Hub (SOH), enabling suppliers to understand our ambitions and contribute to shaping the future of public contact in policing. The MPS is also seeking to solicit market feedback through the means of a Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ), to help inform and shape its approach to this procurement. The DPC platform provides critical national capabilities, serving policing organisations and the public across England and Wales. It enables each force to deliver a range of nationally consistent online services to the public while maintaining their distinct own local identity. Communities are empowered by also having convenient access to information, advice and services that they need. The proposed scope of this procurement encompasses the front-end website, the delivery and operation of the integration hub supporting website services, dashboards and analytics used internally and shared with forces and other stakeholders, and chat services functionality. This procurement aims to deliver as its priority (and under a single supplier), a minimum level of run and maintain service in a more efficient manner for its stakeholders and end users. It also seeks to consolidate and enhance existing delivered services thereby streamlining delivery, modernising key components, and strategically positioning the platform to support significant policing reforms and future service evolution. The DPC programme is guided by the following key strategic imperatives: 1) Policing Reform: Adapting to significant structural changes, including potential force consolidation and the formation of a National Police Service. (For further details, please refer to the 'From local to national: a new model for policing' white paper.) 2) Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence (AI): Embracing AI to enhance public contact through AI-based reporting, AI analysis, conversational AI, and intelligent assistance. 3) Identity and Personalisation: Moving towards authenticated, personalised, and context-aware services, leveraging user accounts (with user authentication via GOV.UK One Login) for tailored experiences. 4) Channel Convergence: Achieving a consistent and unified experience across web, chat, and voice channels for "first contact" with policing. The core service delivery for the USP primarily involves the provision and maintenance of the DPC platform current capabilities, specifically: 1) Website Services: Providing websites for over 40 police forces and organisations, including the national police.uk site (collectively referred to as the Single Online Home - SOH). 2) Public Data Capture: Online crime and incident reporting via forms, integrated with payment and mapping services. 3) Integration Platform (iHub): Facilitating data exchange between public-facing services and force/national systems, using a Standard Data Model. 4) National My Police Portal (NMPP): Enabling authenticated users to track crime reports and communicate with officers. 5) Chat Services & AI-Assisted Engagement: Offering chat services and developing AI-based solutions for natural language reporting, triage, and guidance. 6) Public Data & Neighbourhood Information: Managing and publishing open data about crime and policing (data.police.uk) and local neighbourhood information. 7) Analytics and Dashboards: Providing various dashboards for demand, usage, and performance metrics. 8) Security and Edge Services: Protecting and accelerating services with edge security and traffic management. 9) Shared Services & External Integrations: Utilising services like GOV.UK One Login, Notify, Pay, and mapping services. The existing DPC platform leverages a mix of technologies. Key tooling includes Optimizely Digital Experience Platform (DXP) for website content management, a bespoke React-based forms engine for public data capture, and an AWS integration platform. The National My Police Portal (NMPP) is built on AWS, utilising GOV.UK One Login for authentication and GOV.UK Notify for communications. Chat Services use Cisco Webex Engage or locally provisioned products. For analytics and monitoring, tools like Power BI, Google Analytics 4, Splunk, and Azure Sentinel are in use. Development is supported by Azure DevOps, and Cloudflare provides essential security and edge services. While this landscape reflects our current environment and does not require re-platforming at this time, specific components may necessitate modernisation during the contract term. Beyond the end of the contract that this market engagement is aiming to deliver, it is anticipated that the single supplier delivery model will provide a robust foundation to support the Home Office reform agenda into the National Police Service (NPS) and any future procurement strategies or objectives at that point. Within the forthcoming tender, in addition to the core services outlined above, the Authority intends to present bidders with a list of optional future changes. These changes are expected to be priced separately, allowing the Authority discretion to proceed if or when with them during the contract term. These optional areas may evolve between now and the tender issuance and will be influenced through the market engagement process.

DfE is funding three pilot areas to test an integrated systems intervention model. The model brings together children’s social care, health, youth justice, education and other relevant partners to provide earlier, coordinated and evidence based responses for children at risk of or subject to deprivation of liberty. At the core of the model is a validated assessment of need tool that provides a holistic picture of each child’s needs, risks, strengths and required support. The tool will provide a whole-child picture and inform multidisciplinary planning through the Home Again service and support proactive, timely intervention. To ensure consistency, interoperability and effective multi agency working, the tool must be supported by a secure, integrated digital platform. The platform will enable professionals to complete assessments, share information appropriately, run local reports on activity and outcomes, and generate anonymised aggregate data for national analysis. Together, the tool and platform will strengthen systemwide understanding of this cohort, support better commissioning and planning decisions, and provide insights to inform practice models that keep children and young people (CYP) safe without unnecessary deprivation of liberty. In addition to improving practice in the pilot areas, this programme is intended to generate learning about the conditions required for effective implementation of a validated assessment of need tool across different local systems. This includes learning about organisational, cultural, technical and commercial factors that support or constrain adoption, usability, sustainability and impact across children’s social care, health and youth justice settings. DfE is keen to maximise opportunities to participate in procurement for Small to Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs). Consideration will also be given to consortia and collaborative bids from all forms of organisations.
