Description

The Cyber Resilience Centre (CRC) within the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) provides a range of multiple award-winning services to protect UK public service, and the well-being of UK residents and citizens, against cyber security threats and against organised criminal attempts to defraud the welfare system. It is also taking the lead in developing a new and highly-regarded approach to countering insider risk, working closely with the National Protective Security Authority. The requirement would see suppliers providing resources at zero cost to the Department and presents a significant opportunity for suppliers to enhance their own capabilities through exposure to a sophisticated and mature cyber and personnel security function.

Total Quantity or Scope

The team believes that there would be broader benefit to the UK national interest in providing the opportunity for suppliers to experience these developments and to work with the team to enhance these capabilities still further. The experience gained should be highly beneficial to suppliers’ future engagements. CRC has defined requirements for roles at various levels of experience and would like to advertise this opportunity to suppliers via a market engagement exercise. The team is also open to offering suppliers the opportunity proactively to offer resources which they feel may contribute. The CRC is well-supported by its own internal talent schemes and therefore we only require already talented resources which will improve our joint capabilities. The requirement would see suppliers providing such resources at zero cost to the Department and presents a significant opportunity for suppliers to enhance their own capabilities through exposure to a sophisticated and mature cyber and personnel security function.
