This opportunity falls under the industry category of Office and computing machinery, equipment, and IT services, with a specific focus on software development. The procurement stage is at the planning phase, and key milestones include an engagement end date of August 1, 2024. The project is located in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in software development and IT services, particularly those experienced in creating gaming software and cyber security solutions. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited for this opportunity as the Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria is seeking engagement with market operators. Interested suppliers should apply to the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) under Lot 5 to bid for this service and other relevant Lots that align with their organisation. The timeline for the Invitation to Quote to Lot 5 suppliers is expected towards the end of July, subject to change, so prompt application to the DPS is recommended to ensure acceptance to the framework and receive competition notifications. ## Notice The purpose of this PIN is to inform market operators of an opportunity to develop a scenario based modular cyber security exercise. HI NENC wishes to engage a third-party organisation with proven experience in developing gaming software to create two BETA modules. We are seeking a BETA product with scope to develop future modules. Primarily the users are defined as senior leaders within social care organisations. The current prevalence of cyber-attacks and especially ransomware attacks is significantly increasing business risk across the health and care sector. Due to a range of structural, financial and operational challenges the digital maturity and resilience of social care organisations is variable. The reduction of cyber risk is correlated with reducing pressures on the rest of the health and care system. This is due to the requirement, in some instances of relocating service users in event of a cyber-attack. In addition, it reduces the risk of care services closing due to commercial loss and or reputational damage. The gamification provides an accessible learning experience in a complex and stressful space. This will be achieved through engaging across the spectrum of learning types (visual, read/write, auditory and kinaesthetic learning with particular emphasis on the later).
