Notice Information

Notice Title

Testing Equipment V2 Contract Award Notice

Notice Description

This contract was awarded following an Open Procurement Procedure competition. The DfT requires an Assessment of the Equipment, that looks at both its Architecture and Use of Data (confirming where it is stored, processed and where it flows). This analysis must support understanding of any potential vulnerabilities, flaws or other weaknesses that could allow the Equipment to be exploited. Moreover, the analysis must outline how long it would take, and the resources required, to undertake any mitigating actions to exploit any areas of vulnerability identified. The outcome of this research, the Final Report, will enable DfT policymakers to understand and further develop a suitable response to these vulnerabilities.
