UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council procured cyber security awareness training for its organisation, delivered through cyber security training software and associated IT services. The requirement covers helping users understand and manage cyber security risks, supported by software-based training and related consulting, development, internet or technical support services. The council is the buying organisation, based in Blackburn, and the awarded services are for delivery in the council’s area in the United Kingdom. This is a public-sector services opportunity rather than a construction or goods supply contract. It is relevant to providers of cyber security awareness programmes, online training platforms, security education content and supporting IT services that can serve a local authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Broad Peak Cyber Limited was selected on 28 July 2026 for the single lot. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 and runs from 29 July 2026 to 28 July 2027. It has three possible one-year extensions, allowing a maximum end date of 28 July 2030. The contract value is £61,248 excluding VAT and £73,498 including VAT. The active contract is titled Cyber Security Training Software. The award is classified under CPV 72000000, covering IT services including consulting, software development, internet and support. The recorded procurement method was limited competition because the contract was below the applicable threshold.

This award demonstrates a local authority requirement combining cyber security awareness training with a software platform, rather than a one-off classroom course alone. Competitors would need a credible online or software-enabled training service, relevant cyber security content and the ability to support organisational users throughout delivery. Useful capability includes maintaining training software, providing accessible awareness materials, tracking or supporting user engagement, and responding to the operational needs of a council. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that this scale and delivery model can be served by a smaller specialist business. Providers with experience delivering cyber security education and associated IT support to public-sector or similarly structured organisations would be well placed when this requirement returns.
