Summary of the contracting process

Blackburn With Darwen Borough Council has awarded a contract valued at £69,186 GBP for consultancy services on the Council's Security Information Event Management (SIEM) system, within the software package and information systems industry category. The contract was awarded to Wazuh Inc and covers the period from 31st January 2025 to 31st January 2028. The procurement was conducted through a single tender action method due to the below-threshold value, and the process is now at the award stage. The services will be delivered to Blackburn, England, with the Council's main contact being Peter Hughes.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in IT consultancy and security information management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this contract appealing due to its suitability criteria, which explicitly invites SME participation. The direct procurement method also suggests a streamlined selection process, potentially offering a faster route to securing business contracts with public sector organisations.
