## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfT) awarded a contract for the project "Cyber Security Code of Practice for Shipping Notice" to Actica Consulting Limited. The contract, valued at £69,200 GBP, aims to produce a new product to replace existing DfT cyber shipping guidance for the maritime industry. The project involves providing a threat assessment of cyber risks, a cyber framework, and best practices aligned with International Maritime Organisation regulations. The procurement method was selective, with a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract period is from 16th August 2022 to 31st March 2023, with the tender period closing on 27th July 2022.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses, especially those in the services industry, to participate in developing cutting-edge cyber security solutions for the maritime sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are well-suited for this project. Interested businesses should consider their capabilities in providing cyber threat assessments, developing cyber frameworks, and aligning with international maritime regulations to compete effectively in this procurement process overseen by the Department for Transport.

## Notice

This call-off agreement is for producing a product that will replace current DfT cyber shipping guidance and provide industry with a coordinated and updated UK government referenced product. The final contract deliverable will include a threat assessment of organised criminal activity, hacktivists, and state threat actors, which could affect the maritime industry. This will include a cyber framework to provide an overview of what to look out for, how a cyber-attack could transpire in the maritime domain, migrating actions and best practise that industry should consider in alignment with International Maritime Organisation regulations.
