Cyber Essentials for a Tender or Bid

Bidding for work that requires Cyber Essentials? We get you certified before the tender deadline.

What is Cyber Essentials for a Tender?

Cyber Essentials for a tender is certification needed to submit or win a bid, where the buyer, often in the public sector, has made it a requirement of the procurement.

Why it matters

Public-sector and larger private tenders routinely require Cyber Essentials, and a missing certificate can make an otherwise strong bid non-compliant.

How Solusec helps

Tell us the tender deadline and requirement. We fast-track your certification and, if needed, advise on how to reference it in your submission.

Fast, but honest

How fast depends on where you are today. If key controls such as multi-factor authentication or removing unsupported software need sorting first, we will tell you straight and help you do it quickly. What we will not do is sign off anything that is not genuinely secure, and a good assessor never should.

How we work

Solusec is a certified IASME assessor for Cyber Essentials. We fast-track your certification: we prioritise your application, help you fix any blockers quickly, and guide you through to a pass. You deal directly with the assessor, so there is no queue and no call centre.

Common questions

Does my tender need CE or CE Plus?

It depends on the buyer. We will read the requirement and confirm which level you need to be compliant.

Can you certify before the tender closes?

Often yes, if your controls are in place. Share the deadline and we will tell you honestly.

Do you actually issue the certificate?

We are a certified IASME assessor and take you through assessment to a pass. We are honest about timelines and never sign off controls that are not genuinely in place.

How much does it cost?

A fixed price we agree up front after a short call. See our Cyber Essentials pricing for indicative bands.
