Description

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) invites expressions of interest from organisations interested in delivering the CyberFirst International Programme. This process is designed to identify delivery partners who can uphold the quality, integrity, and impact of CyberFirst in new international contexts. Successful applicants will be granted a non-exclusive licence to use the CyberFirst trademark and associated branding, subject to formal approval and adherence to brand guidelines. In addition, successful applicants will be expected to sign an agreement with DSIT on the programme. These agreements are anticipated to run for a minimum duration of 12 months. DSIT will also provide access to approved curriculum materials, delivery frameworks, and promotional assets to support implementation. Partners will be expected to demonstrate a strong track record of delivering CyberFirst content in the UK, robust governance and safeguarding procedures, and evidence of in-country delivery capability or partnerships. Alongside the programme requirements, proposals should show how 10% of revenue generated through international CyberFirst activities could be allocated to support the TechFirst programme domestically and in particular regional delivery partners . Prospective delivery partners will not receive government funding for pilot activities. Instead, they must source their own funds and build connections to access other in-country funding routes. Based on DSIT's initial Request for Information in April 2025, this exercise will be for the following countries to deliver CyberFirst internationally: • Kingdom of Saudi Arabia • Japan • Canada All proposed solutions must align with UK government priorities and will be subject to the appropriate approvals from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). Please advise if you are interested in submitting a proposal by following the instructions provided in the PA23 Registration section below.
