## Summary

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has completed the procurement process for the project titled "Prj_3986 - Human Uplift Studies (HUS)," classified under research and experimental development services. The tender, which was conducted via a selective procurement method through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, focused on generating experimental data on capability uplift in relation to cyber-specific threat scenarios. The project is valued at £692,955.13 and will be delivered in London, United Kingdom. Key dates include the award announcement on 13 March 2025 and the contract period running from 23 January 2025 to 22 October 2025. The award was granted to RAND Europe Community Interest Company.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in research and development services within the cybersecurity domain.
