Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has completed the procurement process for the "DSIT Cyber Professional Titles Fund." This tender, classified under the "Administration services" category, focuses on creating a pool of up to £200,000 for cyber security licensing bodies under the UK Cyber Security Council (UKCSC) framework to support the professional development of government employees. The procurement process, conducted through a selective method via a dynamic purchasing system, culminated in awarding the contract on 30th September 2024 to EMB Limited. The contract will run from 2nd October 2024 to 31st March 2025 and is aimed at incentivising the uptake of professional titles within the government sector, thereby promoting higher professional standards in cyber security. The project is based in London, United Kingdom, and the key details, such as the closing of the tender period on 18th September 2024, have been duly noted.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cyber security professional standards and training. SMEs and organisations classified as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, given the project's focus on leveraging the skills and expertise of smaller, agile companies to drive professional standards in cyber security. Companies capable of managing and promoting professional qualifications within the framework set by the UK Cyber Security Council can benefit from participating in similar future opportunities facilitated by DSIT. By engaging in this procurement process, businesses can enhance their visibility and credibility within the government and potentially unlock further opportunities for growth in both public and private sectors.
