    Brief

    The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) is seeking support to develop and advance cybersecurity standards for artificial intelligence and emerging technologies. This contract will help DSIT strengthen the UK's influence in global standards development, particularly through ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) technical committees. The work focuses on three key objectives: improving cybersecurity in critical and emerging technologies, embedding UK policy priorities and DSIT Codes of Practice into international standards, and maintaining UK leadership in cyber and AI security governance. By shaping global standards that influence markets and regulatory frameworks, this work directly supports UK economic growth, national security, and public confidence in emerging technologies. Suppliers should have expertise in standards development, cybersecurity, AI governance, and international technical committee participation.
