## Summary

The procurement process titled "Trial for Automating Cyber Risk Analysis" was initiated by Ofgem, the regulatory authority for the electricity and gas markets in Great Britain. This tender falls under the IT services industry category and involves an open procurement method. The tender period concluded on 5th February 2020, with the contract awarded on 26th February 2020, and it is expected to run until 25th June 2020. The total contract value is £487,500, and the relevant work will take place in London and the East Midlands.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in systems and technical consultancy, and cyber-security modelling services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete for this contract, as Ofgem seeks innovative solutions to enhance the security of Cyber-Physical Systems. Companies capable of demonstrating advanced analytical capabilities and understanding complex systems integration will be especially competitive in this 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.
