This project falls within the IT services sector, particularly in systems consultancy and cyber security. The tender, currently in the active stage, is set to conclude on February 5, 2020, with the contract anticipated to commence on February 26, 2020, and run until June 25, 2020. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing a broad range of participants to submit their proposals. The value of the contract ranges from £20,000 to £51,500, and delivery is expected in locations including the East Midlands and London, United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy and software development, particularly those focused on cyber security and systems modelling. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as they may provide innovative solutions to enhance the security of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and reduce cyber risks within essential services. Companies capable of demonstrating advanced analytical techniques and understanding complex system security could find themselves well-positioned to secure contracts in this lucrative project, fostering growth and collaboration with Ofgem in the process. ## Notice Ofgem wishes to reduce the cyber risk of disruption to essential services within its regulatory sector. The ability of Ofgem and the Operators of Essential Services (OESs) to drive reduction in cyber risks is constrained by the level of knowledge of the security of the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) through which the essential services are delivered. The security of the CPSs depends upon many factors including the design of the physical system, the security architecture of the cyber elements (IT and Operational Technology),the low level configuration of both the cyber & physical components and the level of protective monitoring. Typically, no individual has a full understanding of all aspects but the CPS security depends upon how they integrate together. New tools and techniques are emerging to model complex systems from a cyber security perspective. Good models can capture more system security details than one person can absorb and through automated analysis of the model provide new insights to system security. These can include understanding of the most vulnerable attack paths and the best options for protecting them. Good models also provide a way of capturing system information such that it is retained within a security team even as the team members change over time. Models can also support constructive debate between OESs and regulators on the level of system security and how best to reduce cyber risk. Ofgem therefore wishes to trial the latest system modelling tools and techniques on an OES CPS. If the trial evidences that cost effective risk reduction can be achieved through system modelling then Ofgem will encourage adoption more widely across its sector. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/953e471e-f57c-4399-857f-79f652e24290 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Jan 2020 | | Submission deadline | 5 Feb 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 26 Feb 2020 - 25 Jun 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £51,500 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | OFGEM | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E14 4PU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI42 Tower Hamlets | | Local authority | Tower Hamlets | | Electoral ward | Canary Wharf | | Westminster constituency | Poplar and Limehouse | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England), TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 72220000 - Systems and technical consultancy services - 72246000 - Systems consultancy services - 72600000 - Computer support and consultancy services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73210000 - Research consultancy services ## Release History - 22 Jan 2020 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/953e471e-f57c-4399-857f-79f652e24290 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/953e471e-f57c-4399-857f-79f652e24290 22nd January 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN159096 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.ofgem.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
