Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, acting as the buying organisation, have completed a public procurement process for Threat Intelligence Software. This process involved a direct award to Blackwired (UK) Limited via Softcat Plc under the KCS Software Products and Associated Services Y23065 Framework. The awarded project, valued at £157,500, falls under the industry category of software package and information systems (CPV code 48000000). Delivery is expected in London, United Kingdom. The contract period spans from 1st January 2026 to 31st December 2028, with the procurement method being a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement stage has moved to the 'Award' phase as of 23rd June 2026.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in cybersecurity and threat intelligence solutions. Businesses with capabilities in automated intelligence analysis and integration with existing security infrastructures will find themselves well-suited to enter similar competitive spaces. Although the procurement method was selective and favoured existing framework participants, understanding such market demands and readiness to innovate in cyber threat mitigation provides an edge for future opportunities.

Notice Title

Threat Intelligence Software

Notice Description

Direct award to Blackwired (UK) Limited, via Softcat on KCS Software Products and Associated Services Y23065 Framework Please note; the contract period and value accounts for the maximum possible contract period and value. The contract period is 3 years. Blackwired is bringing to the market, with significant support from UK Gov, the ZeroDayLive platform that focuses on the adversary (bad actors) and operates in the dark web to identify the new and emerging threats. They provide finished and actionable intelligence combined with preventative immunisation on the day of detection, and critically at the pace of the adversary, to prevent cyber-attacks occurring. Interoperability: this intelligence is orchestrated directly into the existing CoLP Information Security Control Infrastructure to reinforce and enhance. CoLP tests (over 12 months - encompassing the Ukraine conflict period) have shown a measurable uplift of 150% in cyber-attack prevention. .
