How cyber tenders are coded

Security software packages are classified under CPV code 48730000, with file security software at 48731000 and data security software at 48732000. Security software development services use 72212730, and computer audit and testing services 72800000. Firewalls may instead be coded as network equipment (32420000), and many tenders are labelled only as general IT services, so keyword alerts for terms such as "SOC", "SIEM" or "penetration test" are essential.

Qualification and scoring

Cybersecurity tenders frequently require certified staff and compliance with national security standards. Expect to submit CVs of key experts, references from similar organisations, a methodology and, for sensitive buyers, staff security clearance or local data hosting. Service contracts are usually scored on quality and price together, so the technical approach carries real weight.
