Background The IEA works to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for its 32 member countries and beyond. Founded in 1974, the IEA was initially designed to help countries co-ordinate a collective response to major disruptions in the supply of oil, such as the crisis of 1973/4. While this remains a key aspect of its work, the IEA has evolved and expanded. It is at the heart of global dialogue on energy innovations. Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs) are independent, international groups of experts that enable governments and industries from around the world to lead programmes and projects on a wide range of energy technologies and related issues. TCPs currently cover topics related to: • Efficient end-use (buildings, electricity, industry, transport). • Cleaner fossil fuels (greenhouse-gas mitigation, extraction, supply, transformation). • Renewable energy and hydrogen (technologies and policies for deployment). • Cross-cutting issues (modelling, technology transfer, project financing). • Fusion power (safety, physics, materials, technologies). The 6,000 experts in the TCPs work to advance the research, development and commercialisation of energy technologies. The scope and strategy of each TCP is in keeping with the IEA Shared Goals of energy security, environmental protection and economic growth, as well as engagement worldwide. Depending on the TCP, activities may include: • Basic and applied research, technology development and pilot plants • Technology assessment, feasibility studies, environmental impact studies, market analysis, policy implications • Information exchange of research results and programmes • Scientist exchanges • Databases, modelling and systems analysis • Experts’ networks. More information on the IEA and the TCPs is available here: Technology collaboration - About - IEA. Each TCP typically has two Delegates who represent each country at the Executive Committee: a primary Delegate and an Alternate Delegate. Each TCP is its own entity and therefore have different methods for organising activities. The types of activities are, however, broadly consistent across the TCPs. The UK is currently participating in 28 TCPs. The Science and Innovation for Climate and Energy (SICE) directorate in DESNZ funds 12 of these. At this time, DESNZ is looking to appoint Alternate Delegates for 4 of these TCPs to represent the UK industry alongside the primary DESNZ Delegate: • Energy Storage - https://iea-es.org/ • Heat Pump Technologies (HPT) - http://www.heatpumpingtechnologies.org • Photovoltaic Power Systems (PVPS) - https://iea-pvps.org/ • Industrial Energy-Related Technologies and Systems (IETS) - https://iea-industry.org/ The UK also participates in Mission Innovation, which is the leading international collaboration platform on innovation hosted by the IEA. SICE currently coordinates input into the seven Missions of Mission Innovation. Where relevant to the programme of work of the IEA Technology Collaboration Programmes, alternate delegates should seek to join up activities and stakeholder engagement. Acronyms and terminology: IEA TCP International Energy Agency (IEA) Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs): multilateral working groups established by the IEA across 8 themes (Buildings, Electricity, Industry, Transport, Renewable Energy, Fossil Energy, Fusion Power, cross-cutting) IEA TCP Secretariat Organises the general TCP administration (requesting invoices, organising annual activities), liaises with the IEA and stakeholders DESNZ (Primary) Delegate Government representative in the IEA TCPs.

The UK’s public telecommunications networks are a critical national infrastructure (CNI) subsector, underpinning the functioning of every other CNI sector, the digital economy, and essential public services, for which the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is the lead government department. Their continued availability, integrity and confidentiality are fundamental to national security, economic resilience, and the everyday lives of UK citizens and businesses. Telecoms operators manage complex, large-scale, geographically distributed systems, including exchanges, data centres, transmission sites and access network assets , which are increasingly attractive targets for hostile state and state-aligned actors seeking to disrupt, degrade or exploit UK infrastructure. Physical compromise and insider threat are significant attack vectors that hostile actors could seek to exploit. Strengthening physical and personnel security across the sector is therefore a priority area of work for DCMS. This Request for Information (RFI) is issued solely for preliminary market engagement purposes and does not constitute a call for competition, tender or contract opportunity. The Authority is seeking information to better understand market capability, capacity, security accreditation requirements and delivery approaches. Participation in this RFI will not confer any advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement process. DSIT is exploring options for obtaining specialist support to undertake a physical and personnel security assessment of UK public telecommunications networks and services. We are seeking engagement from accredited security consultancy firms to conduct a sector-level physical and personnel security assessment of UK public telecoms networks and services. This should include assessment of current vulnerabilities and potential threat vectors, and set out a prioritised list of recommended mitigations for operators to reduce the risk of security compromise stemming from physical and personnel security vulnerabilities. This list of prioritised mitigations should identify how existing NPSA guidance can be applied to address telecoms sector vulnerabilities. An estimated project commencement date is October 2026 , to conclude in February 2027, subject to a tender launch and agreed contract. Some of the core deliverables are listed below: A detailed report setting out: (i) current physical and personnel security vulnerabilities within the UK’s public telecoms networks and services, (ii) physical and personnel security threat vectors (i.e. how threat actors could exploit these vulnerabilities, not a threat assessment), and (iii) a prioritised list of mitigations for operators to take to reduce the identified physical and personnel security risks - this should include identification of how existing NPSA guidance can applied to address telecoms sector vulnerabilities.
