Summary of the contracting process

Oxford Brookes University bought an online platform providing E6-compliant bystander training for students. The requirement combines digital learning with training on how to intervene as a bystander. Delivery is intended across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The procurement is for services, rather than physical goods or construction work. Its focus is student training delivered through an online platform, serving a higher-education setting. The selected provider is Brook Young People, based in Truro.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Oxford Brookes University made a below-threshold direct award without competition to Brook Young People. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026 and runs from 8 July 2026 to 7 July 2029, with provision for an extension of up to two years, to a maximum end date of 7 July 2031. The contract value is £15,000 excluding VAT (£18,000 including VAT). The award date and any separate evaluation criteria are not stated in the published details. The procurement was organised as one lot, and the award covers the online student bystander-training platform and associated training services.

For suppliers assessing future student bystander-training work at Oxford Brookes University, this award shows demand for an online platform that delivers E6-compliant training to students across England. A credible provider would need a suitable digital learning platform and the ability to provide training focused on bystander intervention in a higher-education context. The contract went to Brook Young People, a small and medium-sized enterprise, through a direct award without competition; this outcome does not establish a competitive evaluation benchmark or formal qualification threshold. Providers considering comparable future requirements should be able to demonstrate that their platform and training meet the specified E6 compliance requirement and can serve the university’s intended geographic reach. The awarded arrangement is modest in scale and includes an extension option.
