## Summary

Oxford Brookes University procured a threat and vulnerability review of its protective security posture. The service is intended to provide an evidence-based assessment of current security arrangements, including vulnerabilities, existing mitigations and opportunities for improvement. This is a professional security consulting service rather than the supply of equipment or construction works. The buyer is Oxford Brookes University, based in Oxford, and the awarded service covers delivery across England. The requirement sits within business and security consultancy services. It concerns reviewing the university’s current position and identifying practical areas where its protective security could be strengthened.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. BLUE CONDOR LTD was selected for the single lot, with the award active. The award date was 29 July 2026. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £12,000 excluding VAT and £14,400 including VAT. The published outcome identifies a one-year threat and vulnerability review service. The award was made to BLUE CONDOR LTD, a Windsor-based supplier. The procurement used no competitive evaluation process, so no scored award criteria are reported.

This outcome shows Oxford Brookes University has a defined requirement for independent protective-security assessment, focused on evidence-based understanding rather than a single technical product. Suppliers seeking similar work with this buyer would need credible capability in threat and vulnerability reviews, security posture assessment, vulnerability identification, review of existing mitigations and development of improvement opportunities. The successful supplier is a small business, indicating that this type of specialist consultancy can be delivered by an SME rather than only a large national provider. Relevant firms should be able to produce clear, evidence-led findings for a university environment and translate them into practical security improvements.
