    Brief

    This opportunity seeks tactical user-centred design (UCD) capabilities to deliver human-focused design outcomes across the Cyber Improvement Programme's five core themes. The programme recognises that effective cybersecurity depends on user adoption and behaviour change, not just technical controls. By embedding UCD throughout, interventions, policies, tools, guidance, and processes will be shaped around the actual behaviours, needs, constraints, and motivations of end users. This approach addresses a critical gap: without UCD, security measures often fail to achieve uptake, are bypassed, or inadvertently create new risks. Suppliers should demonstrate expertise in applying user research, behavioural insights, and iterative design methods to make cybersecurity solutions practical, usable, and effective for real-world adoption.
