US_21057 - Cyber Security (Market Engagement)

The University of Sussex has a requirement to establish a Cyber Security Operations Centre (SOC) and to upgrade existing malware protection. The purpose of this pre-market engagement is to increase the University’s understanding of what types of services and products are available to meet this requirement. The University would also like to understand the relationship between associated anti-malware monitoring services and how these act as, or in place of, SOC services. We are looking to engage with providers who would be interested in this opportunity and/or have experience of delivering similar projects. We have prepared an indicative scope of works and a market engagement questionnaire designed to inform the University of the current solutions the market is able to offer. For the avoidance of doubt, this market engagement exercise implies no commercial commitment and is not a formal tender process.
