In recent years, the evolving threats to national security have prompted government organisations, including the Ministry of Defence, to tackle a number of sophisticated challenges. In order to find suitable suppliers who can provide the products, solutions and services that it needs, the MOD relies on the public procurement process.

Cyber security
Cyber attacks are on the rise with increasing volumes of suspicious emails – protecting your business and your customers has never been so important. Every year cyber criminals target businesses of all sizes. Cyber security incidents cost the average UK SME £25,700 last year in direct costs. In October, Computer Weekly reported that the cost of data breaches has risen to an average of just over £1.2m including all attack mitigation and business disruption costs – up from £717,909.
