## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfT) has awarded a contract for Testing Equipment V2 to Prism Infosec Ltd, Agility Cyber Limited, Arcanum Information Security Ltd, Cyro Cyber Limited, and Needsec Limited. The contract involves assessing the equipment's architecture and data usage to identify vulnerabilities and potential exploits. The contract value is £18,200 GBP, and the contract period runs from 11th March 2024 to 5th April 2024, with a tender deadline on 5th March 2024. The procurement method used was an open procedure below the threshold, and the location of delivery is in London, United Kingdom. The industry categories involved are IT services, research and development, and business services.

This award by the DfT presents business growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as businesses offering cyber and information security services, research and development expertise, and IT consultancy services. Companies specialised in assessing vulnerabilities in equipment architecture and data systems would be well-suited to compete in this contract. The contract aims to enhance the DfT's understanding of equipment vulnerabilities and enable policymakers to develop suitable responses to mitigate risks in their systems and operations.

## Notice

This contract was awarded following an Open Procurement Procedure competition. The DfT requires an Assessment of the Equipment, that looks at both its Architecture and Use of Data (confirming where it is stored, processed and where it flows). This analysis must support understanding of any potential vulnerabilities, flaws or other weaknesses that could allow the Equipment to be exploited. Moreover, the analysis must outline how long it would take, and the resources required, to undertake any mitigating actions to exploit any areas of vulnerability identified. The outcome of this research, the Final Report, will enable DfT policymakers to understand and further develop a suitable response to these vulnerabilities.
