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

The turnaround is simple: we aim to assess your submission within one business day as standard, and the same day with the urgent turnaround add-on where you submit before midday.

How fast overall 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.

Completing the application yourself is the right choice if you already know the Cyber Essentials requirements and have reviewed them. If you are not certain, we strongly recommend adding a gap analysis first, so you know exactly what to fix before you submit.

And on your data: your submission is reviewed by a qualified, certified assessor, not pushed into AI tools to speed things up. Fast does not mean automated, and your data stays with a real person.

How we work

Solusec is a Cyber Essentials Certification Body. 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.

Ready to buy?

Transparent, fixed pricing based on your organisation size. By default we give you access to the IASME portal to complete your Cyber Essentials assessment yourself, and once you submit it we aim to assess within one business day. You can preview the Cyber Essentials self-assessment questions to see where you stand first. There is no call or consultation as standard; we simply send you the questionnaire to complete. Your submission is reviewed by a qualified, certified assessor, never fed into AI. Need it faster? Add urgent turnaround below. Want us to review your setup against the controls before you apply? That is a gap analysis, quoted separately: ask for one using the contact button under the form.

An appointed IASME Certification Body: your certificate comes directly from us. Verify our credentials on the BlockMark registry, and find us listed on the IASME website.

Want a gap analysis, a different way to pay, or a question answered first?

Gap analysis. We review your setup against the controls you will be assessed on before you apply and tell you exactly what needs fixing, so nothing is a surprise when you submit. It is quoted against your setup rather than sold as a fixed add-on, so ask us and we will price it.

Anything else. Paying by card here is the quickest route, not the only one. Tell us how you would rather pay and we will sort it. Same if you want a question answered before you buy, or a quote for on-site Cyber Essentials or IASME Cyber Assurance Level 1.
