Description
We are looking at holding a short presentation for prospective suppliers and are happy to receive questions / topics to be addressed during this session via email (before 10:00 AM on 12th February 2025) to stuart.smith@dsit.gov.uk or during the MS Teams meeting which we’ll setup w/c 17th February 2025 Please express your interest in this opportunity via the email address above before 15:00 on 15th February PRJ 4961 estimated value £800,000 ex VAT The purpose of this PIN is to provide advance notice that the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology is considering undertaking a tender exercise to set up a new project related to technology development and adoption of CHERI (Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions). Deploying technology that is secure by design reduces the risk of losses from cyber attacks, cuts the cost of ownership with fewer security updates, and creates competitive advantage, allowing businesses to create innovative systems built on secure foundations. The Digital Security by Design programme has built and proven the efficacy of a CHERI, a new microprocessor architecture, securing systems at the silicon level, closing the door on security vulnerabilities that are exploited in 70% of cyber attacks. The savings, benefits and competitive edge offered by CHERI can only be achieved once the design is adopted into the mainstream production environment. To realise the benefits of CHERI in a timely manner, additional effort will be required for its adoption. The department wants to understand how we can convene a critical mass of businesses and funding to unblock the adoption pathway for CHERI and achieve adoption in real world applications at scale. The department invites suggestions and feedback from the market on the scope of the Unlocking CHERI adoption project, including its lots and structure. Once available the Invitation to tender documentation for this procurement may be freely accessed from the Department via the Jaggaer portal The lotting structure of this framework will be determined following market engagement. Duration in months: 9-12 months This contract is subject to renewal: No Price is not the only award criterion and all criteria will be stated only in the procurement documents.
