The procurement is in the tender stage, with proposals to be submitted by 20th October 2024. The contract, valued at £500,000, will commence on 16th December 2024 and run until 15th December 2028. This procurement calls for suppliers or consortia capable of delivering an integrated solution for teaching UG and PG Cyber Security courses, with accreditation requirements and future growth considerations in mind. The project is based in the South West region of the United Kingdom and aims to offer innovative learning environments that meet real-world teaching standards. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational software, specifically in developing bespoke platforms for cybersecurity training. Ideal candidates may include SMEs and VCSEs with experience in creating scalable and versatile digital learning environments. Businesses that can demonstrate a robust track record in similar projects, particularly those with the capability to collaborate with academic institutions and adapt to evolving educational needs, are well-suited to compete. Engaging with this tender could foster business growth through strategic partnerships and the development of innovative educational solutions that may be shared with other universities, expanding market reach and industry influence. ## Notice Cyber Security Learning Platform for undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Bath Spa University (BSU) is looking for suppliers that can support the teaching needs of students. An integrated solution is required to teach UG and PG Cyber Security courses to acceptable standards. We are seeking accreditation for the BSc course, which will likely depend on teaching these skills. There are two distinct phases of requirements based on current and expected future needs, based on course growth and the need to update our unique offering. Proposal: The proposal is to work with an external vendor/supplier to develop a bespoke platform that provides students with the necessary environment to learn key skills, offering a larger volume of options. We have yet to see a product or group of products that meet the requirements for the real world aspect of teaching students about cybersecurity to undergraduate and postgraduate levels. BSU is looking to work with a supplier or group of suppliers that can support this innovation and would be open to working in partnership with other universities or creating new learning that can be shared with other universities.
