Jacobs appointed to deliver cyber security services for Ministry of Defence

Procured with assistance from the Crown Commercial Service (CCS), the DIPS Framework has a potential value of £1.2 billion and runs until November 2027, underpinned as it is by the delivery of a range of digital and IT specialist professional services to Defence Digital.

For its part, the CCS is an executive agency of the Cabinet Office and supports the public sector to achieve maximum commercial value when procuring common goods and services. In 2022-2023, the CCS helped the public sector to achieve commercial benefits equal to £3.8 billion, duly supporting world-class public services that offer best value for taxpayers.

Under the DIPS Framework Lot 3: Cyber Security, Crypto, Sec Ops and Integrated Systems, Jacobs will provide deep technical delivery capabilities, strategic insight and thought leadership that will help the MoD to deliver its most complicated digital and information technology programs.

“This award showcases our ability to provide cutting-edge solutions across various domains within the cyber security sector,” explained Steve Arnette, executive vice-president at Jacobs. “It reflects our team’s experience and commitment to supporting the critical needs of the MoD and provides another opportunity for Jacobs to further contribute towards the nation’s defence and security initiatives.”

The award of a place on the DIPS Framework has created opportunities for security architects, system penetration testers, security systems engineers, security assurance accreditors and ethical hackers. Additional information is available online at careers.jacobs.com
