Tender description

Why the Work is Being Done The Transforming Government Security programme aims to improve the way it does protective security through setting up: A Government Security Function Four Cluster Security Units Security data, standards and compliance Security profession Simplified landscape for common security providers. Problem to Be Solved Involvement strategy for frontline and management staff in the organisational design - develop strategy for CSUs to involve staff, particularly those most affected by the change. Target operating model - governance, structure, accountabilities, common model. Implementation planning approach - for the move from current to future model, templates and plans. Challenge function for the four Cluster Security Units as they are designed - questioning things that have not yet been considered, bringing external expertise This will involve getting to know each Cluster Security Unit and understanding their differences before leaping into design. The focus will be on cyber security. Who Are the Users Frontline security staff who need to support the shape of the Cluster Security Units and feel part of the new organisations. Senior management in the Cluster Security Units who need to understand what the new organsiation will look like and how it is going to work. Government Security Group who need to understand how security is going to work across the whole of government in the new model. Early Market Engagement Work Already Done The Cabinet Office Organisational Design team have worked with several departments to develop a set of design principles. Finyx have delivered some organisational design support to Cluster 1 (with HMRC) and Cluster 2 (with Home Office). Existing Team There is a central programme team, based in the Cabinet Office, running the Transforming Government Security programme. They will be the key point of contact initially. There are also four programme teams in each of the Cluster Security Units, based in HMRC, Home Office, DWP, MOD and FCO. They will be the key points of contact for work with each cluster. Current Phase Beta Work Location The location is primarily London, however, there will be frequent travel to other locations as required, particularly to support DWP and MOD which have large operations outside of London. This may mean spending time in Birmingham, Telford, Manchester and Leeds. Working Arrangments Four full time people are expected to spend most of their time based with the project teams in Cabinet Office, HMRC, Home Office, DWP, MOD and FCO. It will not necessarily be four people at the same time - the work may be spread out over a longer period of time. The strong preference is that the people involved are consistent throughout the project. Security Clearance CTC may be required.
