Those in the UK public sector will be pleased to find out that, as of 23rd February 2023, Awen Collective is now part of the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Cyber Security Services 3, making it even easier for the UK public sector to access innovative cyber security solutions such as Profile and Dot.
Due to the nature of industrial and civic cyber security, Awen has always enjoyed a very good relationship with governments and regulators around the world. Due to being based in the UK, we have a long history of advising and receiving advice from a number of UK Government and Welsh Government departments, as well as British regulators. Awen has also been on a few Crown Commercial Service frameworks/systems previously, including Digital Outcomes & Specialists (DOS) and G-Cloud. More details about the various frameworks and systems are available on the Crown Commercial Service website.
This Cyber Security Services 3 is a commercial procurement agreement between Awen Collective and the UK Government Crown Commercial Service. It is a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) which is open to all UK central government departments, wider public sector organisations and charities - and enables them to have pre-approved shortlisted suppliers, specifically for NCSC assured services, cyber security consultancy & advice, penetration testing, incident response services and managed security services.
At the time of writing 272 suppliers are within the Cyber Security Services, and Awen is very pleased to offer our solutions via this platform alongside some of our partners.
