Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport, headquartered in London, has completed the public procurement process for the "Future of Cyber Compliance" project. This initiative falls under the services category, specifically focusing on business and management consultancy related to cyber compliance in various transport sectors excluding aviation. The contract, worth £346,000, was awarded to KPMG LLP on 14 April 2026, following a limited procurement method without prior publication, facilitated through an existing Government Commercial Agency Framework. The project aims to deliver strategic insights and recommendations to enhance regulatory capabilities for cyber security across road, rail, and maritime sectors. This tender, situated in the UKI region, reflects a critical opportunity in the business and management consultancy arena, with the procurement process initiated in the tender stage and proceeding to award.

This project offers substantial growth opportunities for firms specialising in consultancy and cyber compliance, particularly those with proven expertise in regulatory frameworks and the ability to adapt to legislative changes. Businesses adept at delivering strategic, management, and technical solutions in cyber security will find this sector promising. The examination of core capacities to enhance cyber security regulation could lead to ongoing consultancy engagements, challenging traditional boundaries and potentially expanding businesses’ market presence. Companies like KPMG LLP, known for its large-scale capabilities and expansive reach, demonstrate the scale and expertise necessary to undertake such comprehensive reviews, highlighting the competitive edge required in this dynamic sector.

Notice Title

Future of Cyber Compliance

Notice Description

Awarded contract to a supplier to undertake a business review of the Cyber Compliance Regulatory and Organisational Requirements

Lot Information

Lot 1

This work aims to examine and deliver a set of options that outline the core minimum capacity and capability needed to provide an effective regulator under NIS for Road, Rail and Maritime. Regulation of aviation under NIS is out of scope of this project. This work will need to: * articulate the duties the regulator will need to fulfill, noting not only the changes under the Cyber Security & Resilience (NIS) Bill, but the potential for changes to designation thresholds that may increase the number of regulated operators or bring future transport sub-sectors into scope. * examine how other cyber regulators operate and are adapting to legislative changes and consider the benefits of enforcement delivered through a range of delivery partners. This may include expanding the remit of other existing regulators to include cyber security as well as delivering some duties through commercial partners (such as audits).
