This process falls under the category of research and development services and is set in the United Kingdom. The procurement is currently at the award stage, with the tender period closing on 11 January 2017 and the contract period beginning on 23 January 2017, running until 31 March 2017. The total contract value is £54,960, and the procurement method is an open procedure, inviting widespread participation. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses with expertise in cybersecurity, research, and consultancy services, particularly those capable of engaging with key stakeholders within the aviation sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, making this an excellent opportunity for those looking to expand their footprint in public sector contracts. Companies that can provide comprehensive reporting and analysis on cyber incident response capabilities will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice - Like much of the UK's Critical National Infrastructure, the UK transport sector is a potential target for cyber-attacks. These may occur across the multitude of different systems and technologies that facilitate travel. There is scope for considerable economic and social disruption from malicious attacks, with the aviation sector in particular being a high profile and attractive target. - While aviation industry response plans to cope with physical attacks are well understood, tested and exercised, the Authority's experience of running table top exercises with separate areas of industry indicate that response plans for cyber-attacks require further development. There is a need to understand what current and future planning looks like, and what support industry requires from government to make it more resilient to cyber-attack. In this respect the Authority invites bids to provide: * A comprehensive report outlining the UK aviation industry's current capability and future plans to respond to a serious cyber incident, and what support is required from government. The report is to be based on consultation with key aviation industry stakeholders across the UK. * A summary of the findings. - The aims and objectives of the work are to: * Inform the Authority of the state of incident response capability in the UK aviation industry, highlighting any particular weaknesses or gaps, focussing on pre-incident planning, incident response, and post-incident recovery; * Outline the future direction of travel for response plans, and what support and advice industry requires from government, including the role it should play. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f3257921-a131-4422-a2e8-5d682cbc35cc | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Mar 2017 | | Submission deadline | 11 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 23 Jan 2017 | | Contract period | 24 Jan 2017 - 31 Mar 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £54,960 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CROWN COMMERCIAL SERVICE | | Locality | LIVERPOOL | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L3 9PP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD72 Liverpool | | Local authority | Liverpool | | Electoral ward | City Centre North | | Westminster constituency | Liverpool Riverside | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | HELIOS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79300000 - Market and economic research; polling and statistics ## Release History - 7 Mar 2017 at 12:54 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f3257921-a131-4422-a2e8-5d682cbc35cc - 4 Jan 2017 at 10:37 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c5890906-cc5c-4f22-91d8-4263e3732a01 - 16 Dec 2016 at 15:57 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c5890906-cc5c-4f22-91d8-4263e3732a01 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f3257921-a131-4422-a2e8-5d682cbc35cc 7th March 2017 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c5890906-cc5c-4f22-91d8-4263e3732a01 4th January 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/df0808ea-0e58-4c70-bb00-983478c38f79 Appendix A - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/01a2d8bf-ca47-49ce-85c1-9a2d502915d2 Appendix B - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1bc1b2e2-f464-4012-93dd-06754bde182d Appendix C - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3fa22f11-9596-4daa-b53c-1488e7adb06b Appendix D - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ed2e6fee-130c-43aa-8cff-ab81d7041b77 Appendix E - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/10f65e89-46dc-437b-b219-3515f9beadb5 Invitation To Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6f6fea6e-3b5c-4e87-8328-416fab98b486 Invitation To Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/bff43a0c-383c-4ab8-8e15-c70554eeb3a9 Award Letter - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3bfb9384-8028-4392-a697-53c4b2b450d3 Annexes ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/crown-commercial-service ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
