What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionMany innovation projects are technical/digital and require careful guidance to ensure
emergent technologies and processes are developed with a sufficiently balanced approach
to security. Therefore, it has been recognised that innovation projects need to have their own
Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in place to provide support on Digital, Security, Cyber
Defence and Risk elements of project management. Currently this specialised
support cannot be internally resourced or easily scaled to support the volume and demand of
UK Defence's innovation portfolio
