The Authority has a requirement for the provision of smoking cessation training and an expert advice service. The successful Provider shall deliver a combination of quality assured smoking cessation training to military and civilian healthcare staff. The successful provider will also work closely with Defence Authorities to provide smoking and tobacco control expertise to advise on policy development and service delivery. The Provider shall deliver two services. The first is to provide access to a range of smoking cessation courses that will support the training of healthcare staff in smoking cessation techniques, that may be delivered as face-to-face or as on-line training courses. These courses are to be adapted for MoD personnel to ensure they are focused around the Service environment. The second is to provide expertise, advice and guidance on clinical, research and general policy developments and may include an international element within the field of smoking cessation services and the wider tobacco control agenda. Cyber Security: The MoD has a duty to protect itself from Cyber threats and now we extend this to Suppliers we engage with. As an extension of the Government's Cyber Essentials Scheme the MoD, working together with Industry and other Government Departments, have developed a more robust Cyber Security Model, under the umbrella of the Defence Cyber Protection Partnership (DCPP). All prime contractors must have the cyber security controls specified in DEF Stan 05-138 (Cyber Security for Defence Suppliers), as appropriate to the cyber risk level specified in the contract. The Authority has determined the level of risk at Moderate (Reference: RAR- 918915575 ) as defined in DEF Stan 05-138.
