    NHSBSA require specific support for a strategically important area of NHS Cyber Security Tooling and Capabilities. As part of the new DSPT/CAF (cyber assessment framework) requirements the NHSBSA has stood up the Cyber Security Improvement Project. This aims to improve upon our existing security controls/policies and procedures. The scope of which includes all aspects of CAF in relation to our estate and other security audits we undertake.

    To achieve the above objectives, we are aiming to procure several tools across the security space to drive improvement. The exact nature of this is not yet defined as there are multiple business needs to consider and further insight into the supply market required. Hence, the aim of this market engagement is to help inform our strategy and areas of priority.
