Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire procured a security vulnerability tool as a software and information systems service. The requirement is to support the identification and management of security vulnerabilities across the organisation’s information technology environment. Delivery covers England. The buyer is a policing and fire governance organisation, so relevant suppliers are those providing security vulnerability management software and associated services to public-sector or similarly controlled environments. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The scope is a technology service rather than hardware supply, construction, consultancy unrelated to vulnerability management, or general-purpose software without a clear cyber-security application.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Boxxe Limited. The award was made on 9 July 2026 through a selective call-off from the ICT Framework 2024/S 000-039511, Lot 4 for hardware, software and associated services. The awarded value is £78,000. The tender described a one-year contract with two optional 12-month extensions. The recorded awarded contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 20 July 2031. The tender submission deadline was 9 June 2026 at 5:30pm. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process, with the requirement classified as a services purchase. Boxxe Limited is the named supplier and the award is active.

This outcome demonstrates demand from Northamptonshire’s policing and fire governance organisation for a structured security vulnerability tool and related delivery capability. Suppliers likely to compete credibly for a future requirement will need a mature cyber-security software offering, practical vulnerability identification and management functions, and the ability to support implementation and ongoing service delivery. Experience working with public-sector buyers, security-sensitive organisations and framework-based call-offs would be commercially relevant. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a specialist cyber-security provider could be competitive without being a large technology integrator. Suppliers should also be able to provide dependable support, clear service management and evidence that their platform can operate effectively across an organisation’s technology estate.
