The programme aims to commercialise academic cyber security ideas and research, in alignment with the UK's National Cyber Strategy and Innovation Strategy. The procurement involves designing and delivering customised sales training to University teams developing cybersecurity products, with in-person training sessions planned in London. The contract period is set to start on 9th September and end on 15th December 2023, with a tender deadline of 21st August 2023. This tender provides an opportunity for service providers experienced in sales training and cybersecurity to engage with academic institutions and support the development of cybersecurity products. With a target to work with 10 to 14 University teams, businesses offering tailored training solutions and mentoring services for start-ups and MVP development would be well-suited to compete. The procurement method is limited with competitive quotation below threshold, making it accessible to SMEs with relevant expertise in research and development services and related consultancy services. ## Notice Cyber Security Academic Start-up Accelerator Programme (CyberASAP) is a pre-seed accelerator programme which was created in 2017 in response to the need to commercialise academic cyber security ideas and translation of research. It is a Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) initiative to support the commercialisation of UK academic ideas in cyber security in line with the 2022 National Cyber Strategy and the UK Innovation Strategy. CyberASAP is delivered by Innovate UK and Innovate UK KTN working in partnership. Innovate UK are responsible for running the competitions, delivering and monitoring grant funding to the University teams. Innovate UK KTN are responsible for programme delivery. Further details about the programme are available at www.cyberasap.co.uk We are looking to commission a service provider to design and deliver individually customised sales training to a number of University teams that are in the process of building a cybersecurity proof of concept (PoC) product, good or service. The service provider should, through direct engagement with each University team, develop a customer persona for their product, good or service. It is anticipated that the introductory session and main sales training workshop will be delivered in-person & Innovate UK KTN will arrange and provide suitable venues in London. Content should be adaptable for online delivery if in-person delivery is not possible. It is anticipated that between 10 to 14 University teams will be taking part in the PoC phase of CyberASAP including this Sales Training Programme. The exact number of University teams will not be known until early September. Where appropriate we would also expect the service provider to provide ad-hoc mentoring for the teams around start-ups, development of MVPs and investment planning. The successful proposal is expected to be in the range of PS28,000 - PS36,000 including VAT. Any variation in the proposal cost due to the number of projects should be made clear. The response to the ITT should be emailed to eduardo.hernandez@ktn-uk.org before noon on the 21st August 2023. A final decision is due to be made by 9th September. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5113d6e6-b98c-4bd5-b1f5-0c06f2cfd71f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | 21 Aug 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Sep 2023 - 15 Dec 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000 | | 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 | KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER NETWORK LIMITED | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North London | | Postcode | N1 0QH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | St Mary's & St James' | | Westminster constituency | Islington South and Finsbury | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 20 Jul 2023 at 07:59 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5113d6e6-b98c-4bd5-b1f5-0c06f2cfd71f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5113d6e6-b98c-4bd5-b1f5-0c06f2cfd71f 20th July 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a6edfe31-c012-4732-a974-c23d6c2a969d ## Notice URLs - https://iuk.ktn-uk.org/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
