Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured a supplier risk management platform to assess third-party suppliers against its information security requirements. The service is intended to collect and manage security assurances from suppliers and other third parties, helping the council understand and manage risks. This is a software-based service for supplier assurance, rather than a general IT system procurement. The buyer is Bristol City Council, based in Bristol. The listed delivery locations include the United Kingdom and other international locations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Risk Ledger by direct award. The award date was 13 August 2026, and the contract runs from 30 August 2026 to 29 August 2028. The awarded contract value is £50,000. The tender deadline was 31 July 2026. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The available details do not set out an evaluation basis.

This award shows Bristol City Council’s demand for a platform that helps assess third-party suppliers against information security requirements and collect and manage their security assurances. Suppliers competing for this specific requirement would need to offer a platform suited to supplier risk assessment and assurance management, with the ability to help the council understand and manage risks across its supplier base. The award indicates that the council used a direct-award route for this purchase; the contract went to a specialist supplier in the supplier-risk platform market.
