Description

The City of London Corporation is looking to contract for Cyber Resilience Centre Consultancy as part of the NPCC National Cybercrime Programme. The provision of consultancy services for the Cyber Resilience Centre programme from Spring 2022 to Spring 2023 is to build upon the existing and previous contracts in the programme to continue to develop the 8 established CRCs, to establish the centre in London and the relaunch of the North West centre to cover the remaining force areas in that region and to establish the National Cyber Resilience Centre Group Company. The chosen supplier will provide commercial marketing, business development and media engagement to provide strategic commercial support and growth to the centres. Corporate Governance and risk management is essential as well as Financial Management and Performance management support to the centres. Engagement with national and multi-national companies and developing partnerships and collaborations at a national and regional level is required. A key element of the programme is Student Services. It is essential to further the strategic development of the centralised student services provision and training programme which will include university and student engagement and brand development. The services will be delivered in-person and remotely and the supplier must be able to implement all strategies and deliver all training by the end of the initial contract period. The duration of the contract is 12 months, subject to the right of the City (at its sole discretion) to exercise its right to extend the Contract by up to 24 further months on a year by year basis. The maximum length of the contract is therefore 36 months.
