## Description

The Local Government Association \(LGA\) is working with roughly 10% \(32\) of Local Government Authorities in England to offer a variety of security tests \(external, internal and application-based tests\) to determine current levels of risk and to produce action plans for improvements\. The LGA also wishes to gain an understanding of common issues and levels of vulnerability across the 10%, through uniform reporting of statistical information\. The LGA will be using the Cyber Security Services 3 DPS to procure these tests for the 32 participating authorities\. We have taken a pre-approved list of suppliers from this DPS and will be directly contacting them\. The authorities we will be working with have already been identified and are a representative sample of all English Local Authorities in terms of Type, Geography, and IT profile\. This ITT is split into 'lots'\. The scope of each 'lot' is described briefly below \(4\.1 - 4\.4\), with more thorough detailed information profiles available in Annex A\. We will accept bids for one, two, three or all four of the 'lots' from each supplier\. The specification is the same for each 'lot', but responses should be appropriate to the 'lot/s' applying for\. The information profiles in Annex A should be useful when assessing costs and scope of each of the tests per council\. Lot 1 - 18 District Councils Lot 2 - 8 Unitary Authorities Lot 3 - 3 London Boroughs Lot 4 - 3 County Councils
