    Brief

    Durham County Council is conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) process for a new 24/7 Managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service. This engagement follows an initial market consultation in October 2025 that received 24 responses, with refined requirements now being re-evaluated. Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is no longer included in scope. The council has an annual budget of approximately £600,000 and is seeking a contract with an initial 3-year term, plus two optional 24-month extensions. Suppliers are invited to submit a questionnaire and, if shortlisted, participate in one-hour Teams discussions in September 2026 to present their offering and help the council further refine its specification and tender requirements. This is an opportunity to influence the final procurement before the competitive tender process is launched.
