Description

The Defence Reform Act 2014 established the Single Source Regulations Office ("SSRO") as an independent regulator of the UK Government's procurement of single source military equipment and services. The SSRO is the custodian of the single source procurement framework and has several functions under the Act and the Single Source Contract Regulations 2014. The SSRO is seeking to appoint a provider of Security and Information Risk Advisor (SIRA) services to deliver expert advice on the management of security and information risk, consistent with the UK Government's information assurance policy and other sector specific guidance, with particular emphasis on the specific requirements of the Single Source Regulations Office as a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Ministry of Defence(MOD). Suppliers should note that the previous tender notice for this opportunity (ocds-h6vhtk-06008b) was withdrawn due to non- inclusion of the associated documents with the notice.
