PUBLISHED DESCRIPTION

What the notice says

To notify the awarded contract to a supplier to provide some insight with a report outlining what transport operators need from DfT in terms of advice and/or guidance, and recommendations on how DfT should work with operators to effectively support a cyber resilient transport sector. The outputs could be shared with other relevant stakeholders who provide advice and guidance (e.g. NCSC). Wider government departments will also be benefitting from this project so they can also support our sector and broader CNI more effectively.
