Description

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (the Agency) wishes to consolidate its security testing requirement for the next 3 years.

Our transformation programme will require ambitious timelines in our projects and programmes. The need to deliver security testing requirements flexibly and possibly at short notice will be key. For this reason, we are seeking a 'call off' type arrangement with a single specialist security testing provider so security testing requirements can be met flexibly, at possibly short notice so not delaying project timelines and to a consistent and high quality.
In addition to security testing associated with projects the Agency retains a requirement for annual IT Health Checks at its MHRA/CPRD centre and at NIBSC, not least to support its PSN and PND accreditations. However, given the nature of these tests then it is fully expected that a longer lead in period will need to be agreed with the chosen supplier.
