Notice Information

Notice Title

Development of two cyber security ALPHA modules for HI NENC

Notice Description

The purpose of this PIN is to inform prospective research and/or academic organisations of an opportunity to develop and carry out a research evaluation on a scenario based modular cyber security exercise. On behalf of NHSE, HI NENC wishes to engage a research and/or academic organisation with proven experience in developing gaming software to create two ALPHA scenario models. We are seeking two cyber security ALPHA products with scope to develop future modules. We also require research and evaluation of the effectiveness of the products to be provided. Primarily the users are defined as senior leaders within adult social care organisations. The current prevalence of cyber-attacks and especially ransomware attacks is significantly increasing business risk across the health and care sector. Due to a range of structural, financial and operational challenges the digital maturity and resilience of social care organisations is variable. Humans are the primary attack targets of organisations and this product seeks to improve their preparedness by defending as one. Health data is a valuable commodity and these modules will endeavour to safeguard it. The gamification provides an accessible learning experience in a complex and stressful space. This will be achieved through engaging across the spectrum of learning types (visual, read/write, auditory and kinaesthetic learning with particular emphasis on the later). Additional information: HI NENC would like to invite potential providers of these services to apply to our Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) DN670401 as a supplier. You can do this by following this link: procontract.due-north.com/ProjectManagement/ProjectDashboard?projectId=c1881153-e6f3-ed11-8122-005056b64545 This opportunity will be developed as a further competition under Lots 3 and 5 of our DPS. You should therefore ensure you apply to either Lot 3 or 5 depending on your company core business to be able to bid to provide this service. You are also welcome to apply for any other Lots on our DPS that you feel are relevant to your organisation. If your company is not registered with the Proactis (ProContract) Due North Portal, click on this link Supplier registration (due-north.com) and complete your organisation name and email address and continue your registration. We are expecting to put out the Invitation to Quote to our Lot 3 and 5 suppliers at the beginning of January 2025. This timeline is subject to change. Interested suppliers are advised to apply to the DPS promptly to ensure they have been accepted to the framework and receive the competition notification. Please note that HI NENC are closed from Close of Play 20 December 2024 until 3 January 2025. This notice is for information and engaging with the supply market only.

The information contained in this notice, including information relating to the nature and scope of the requirements, the service classification of this requirement from the list of CPV codes, is only indicative of the HI NENC's current thinking and is neither exhaustive nor binding. HI NENC reserves the right at its absolute discretion to amend it at the time of issue of any further notices or at any other time.
