This programme aims to provide mid-career Indian professionals with specialised training in the UK, running from 2018 to 2021. The open tender period will close on 3rd March 2017, and the successful vendor will need to ensure that the course commencement aligns with the specified timing of February or March for each of the three financial years involved. The programme's location will be based in London, United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those with expertise in cyber security education and training. It is well-suited for training providers, educational institutions, and consultancies specialising in security policy and defence cooperation. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate as they are identified as suitable contenders for this contract, facilitating their growth through capacity-building initiatives that foster international collaboration. ## Notice The Chevening Cyber Security Fellowship is aimed at mid-career Indian professionals with demonstrable leadership potential in the field of cyber security or cyber policy in India. This programme is running since 2014. Six fellows are sent every year to the UK for a 12 week fully funded residential programme. Until now it has been delivered at Cranfield University at the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom. We draw fellows from the Government of India, the Indian Police Service, academia, the legal profession, entrepreneurs and industry. The course enables a small yet significant group of Indian Cyber experts to get professional training on the subject enabling them to come up to speed with the best British practices. This goes a long way in contributing to developing mutual understanding between the two countries in mitigating Cyber Security threat and defence cooperation. We have successfully run four programmes (including one scheduled March 2017). The contract tendering request is for three successive programmes in 2018, 2019 and 2020 (FY 18/19, 19/20 and 20/21). Call for Proposals We are inviting organisations that meet the criteria set out in this document to submit bids. The successful Course Provider will be awarded a contract to run the Chevening Cyber Security Fellowship in Financial Years 2018/19, 2019/20 and 2020/21 (April to March). The ideal timing of the programme start date is the month of Feb/ March in all three years. Timing of the course and its selection and other administrative processes is non-negotiable. The expected date for the delivery and start of the course should be no later than Feb/ March 2018. Additional information: Tender documents are available on the FCO's e-Procurement portal.
