This open procurement process falls under the services category, with an anticipated value of approximately £80,000. The tender period ends on 30th September 2021, after which the contract is set to commence on 2nd November 2021 and conclude by 31st March 2022. The project's delivery address is located in London, SW1P 4DR, and it aims to involve research and development, focusing on counter-terrorism and cyber security efforts. This opportunity presents a significant scope for business growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in transport security, resilience planning, and related consultancy services. Businesses that specialise in research and development within the security sector will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging with the DfT could open avenues for long-term partnerships and contribute to national safety initiatives, making it a valuable opportunity for capable providers in this field. ## Notice The Transport Security, Resilience and Response (TSRR) within DfT, leads on national security matters, ranging from counter terrorism and cyber security to planning for and responding to natural hazards or civil contingencies. We deliver expertise to support security and resilience policy teams whilst also providing the department's 24/7 response for all security or civil contingency incidents. The team works with security and intelligence partners from across government to mitigate risk to the UK's transport sector. The aim of this procurement is to run a Rail Security Exercise project which will be overseen by the Research, Analysis and Development (RAD) team within DfT. RAD are a team of scientists responsible for providing data and evidence that support decisions around maintaining a safe and secure transport infrastructure.
