Framework: winning a place puts you on an approved list for future work. It's the entry ticket, not guaranteed work.

In plain English

Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council, working with Welsh Government, wants a single supplier for a national managed cyber security operations centre (SOC) framework called CymruSOC 2.0, covering a core managed SOC service plus additional ordered services, from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2034. Winning this single-lot framework is the entry ticket for Welsh public bodies to call off and create individual SOC contracts, not a guarantee of work itself.

Good fit for: Established cyber security/managed SOC providers capable of delivering a national, multi-client, SIEM-agnostic monitoring service at scale.

The catch (with the notice's own words):
  • Staff may transfer to you under TUPE the incumbent contractor has indicated TUPE will apply to this procurement
  • Single supplier only, highly competitive process will seek to put in place a single-Lot single supplier Framework Agreement
  • Must support multiple SIEM/tooling arrangements, not just your own product The service must remain SIEM-agnostic and must support approved Participant-owned and alternative SIEM and security tooling arrangements

What the buyer says

Bydd CymruSOC 2.0 yn darparu fframwaith SOC a reolir cenedlaethol sy'n cynnwys gwasanaeth SOC craidd a reolir a Gwasanaethau Ychwanegol a archebir ar wahân. Rhaid i'r gwasanaeth gynnal parhad canlyniadau gofynnol CymruSOC 1.0, gan gefnogi gwelliant rheoledig, cyfranogiad ehangach ac amgylcheddau technegol amrywiol y Cyfranogwyr. Rhaid i'r gwasanaeth barhau i fod yn annibynnol ar unrhyw SIEM penodol a rhaid iddo gefnogi trefniadau SIEM ac offer diogelwch eraill sydd naill ai'n eiddo i Gyfranogwyr neu'n drefniadau amgen a gymeradwywyd, lle gellir cyflawni'r canlyniadau gofynnol o ran diogelwch, monitro, rhannu gwybodaeth, rhyngweithrededd a sicrwydd. Mae rhagor o wybodaeth fanwl ar gael yn y Datganiad o'r Gofynion, a ddarperir fel atodiad yng Ngham 1 ar eDendroCymru. Mae hwn yn gaffaeliad cydweithredol sy'n cael ei gynnal gan Gyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Merthyr Tudful (yr Awdurdod Contractio) mewn partneriaeth â Llywodraeth Cymru, a bydd yn ceisio sefydlu Cytundeb Fframwaith un lot gydag un cyflenwr er mwyn galluogi awdurdodau sy'n cymryd rhan i alw i lawr a chreu contractau ar gyfer y gwasanaethau sydd eu hangen arnynt. Bydd yn ofynnol i'r tendrwr llwyddiannus ymrwymo i Gytundeb Fframwaith gyda'r Awdurdod Contractio ac, wedi hynny, ymrwymo i gontractau unigol gan ddefnyddio templed contract galw i lawr gydag awdurdodau sy'n cymryd rhan drwy'r weithdrefn galw i lawr. Er budd tryloywder ac er mwyn rhoi gwybod i ddarpar dendrwyr cyn gynted â phosibl, mae'r contractwr presennol wedi nodi y bydd TUPE yn berthnasol i'r caffaeliad hwn. Yn unol â'r rheoliadau, rhaid i'r contractwr presennol a'r contractwr newydd a ddyfernir i'r Fframwaith o ganlyniad i'r caffaeliad hwn gydymffurfio â rheoliadau TUPE lle maent yn berthnasol.
