Provision of IT Managed Detection and Response Services to Medicines Discovery Catapult

About

Medicines Discovery Catapult awarded a contract to NCC Group for managed detection and response services that minimise the time to detect cyber threats in IT environments and reduce the impact of identified breaches through immediate action to contain and remediate adversarial activities.

The contract was modified to include the Lighthouse Laboratory (part of MDC) for a six-month period, in line with clause 72(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, as a change of contractor would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs.

The cost of the modification is £42,764.00, which is less than 50% of the value of the original contract.
