## Summary

National Highways has completed the tender process for the "ITEP0653 Identity and Access Modernisation Programme". This initiative aims to enhance the security of National Highways' systems by implementing new Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions. The procurement falls under the IT software package category (CPV code 48517000) with a project value of £4,016,032 and covers locations including the United Kingdom and several British territories. The project employs a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 1st May 2024, with the contract spanning from 7th May 2024 to 6th May 2027.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT software development and cybersecurity services. Companies capable of providing robust IGA and PAM solutions would be well-suited to undertake such projects. The awarded contract to PricewaterhouseCoopers underscores the demand for expertise in cybersecurity, offering an avenue for firms to showcase their skills, potentially leading to further business with National Highways or within similar industry sectors. This programme is crucial for enhancing security infrastructure, thereby extending opportunities for business growth and establishing long-term partnerships.

## Notice

The current system for managing user identities and permissions within National Highways needs improvement and to take advantage of more automation. Considering the increasing cyber-security threats and the criticality of ensuring secured access to National Highways systems and data is maintained, National Highways has initiated an improvement programme to implement new Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions in order to enhance the security of its information assets. By achieving the programme objectives, National Highways will significantly enhance its security posture; ensuring continued compliance with NIS regulations, mitigating insider threats and strengthening its incident response capabilities. National Highways does not have the internal skills to deliver this, so the delivery of this programme will not only protect sensitive data and Critical Services but also foster a culture of security across the organisation, safeguarding long-term success and reputation, while improving user experience and ways of working both internally and with our supply chain across all Directorates. In light of the above, the IGA and PAM projects are operating within the IAM programme as part of the Cyber Security Improvement Portfolio (CSIP).
