## Summary

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is conducting a procurement for the "Cyber Skills and Careers Inspiration Programme for Young People," aimed at promoting engagement with cyber security among secondary school students across the UK. This open tender process, which has already concluded, was intended to facilitate a contract valued at £3,000,000 for services classified under the education and training sector. The contract period commenced on 3rd September 2021 and extends until 31st March 2022. The procurement was awarded on 2nd September 2021, with the successful supplier being QA Ltd based in Slough.

This programme presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational services and digital solutions targeting young audiences. Companies with expertise in developing engaging educational content, regional outreach programmes, and targeted communication strategies would be particularly well-placed to contribute to the project's objectives. The focus on under-represented groups and areas of disadvantage may also appeal to businesses that emphasise social impact, allowing for growth in the thriving cyber security sector.

## Notice

As part of the National Cyber Security Programme, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) requires design and delivery of a programme to build enthusiasm and engagement for cyber security amongst young people of secondary school age - and at a point that leads up to and includes pupils' decision points on subject choices for further study. The required services will focus activity in 3 core areas: *A Digital Solution(s) to inspire and support 11-14 year old young people's engagement with cyber security across the UK. *Regional pilot interventions to support the Digital Solution and, importantly, to embed and deepen engagement of it with under-represented groups and in areas of disadvantage. *A Targeted Communications Campaign, to support both the promotion of the Digital Solution and to embed and deepen engagement to build awareness and enthusiasm for cyber careers in the target audience.
