## Summary

The British Council procured a vulnerability intelligence subscription service for its Security, R&D and Infrastructure teams. The service covers alerts about vulnerabilities in third-party plugins, mobile terminals and system platforms, together with intelligence on components, dependencies and frameworks. Its purpose is to keep the organisation informed about emerging vulnerabilities and support prevention and inspection using the British Council’s asset inventory, helping to reduce its attack surface. This is a cybersecurity information and monitoring service rather than a construction or equipment supply contract. The recorded delivery location is China. The procurement involved one requirement, awarded to Beijing Zhian Yuntu Technology Co., Ltd, a large technology supplier based in Beijing.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The award is active and the resulting contract is also active. Beijing Zhian Yuntu Technology Co., Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026, runs from 15 August 2026 to 14 August 2029, and has a gross value of CNY 450,000. The contract period covers the subscription service and related vulnerability intelligence requirement. The published process identifies the procurement category as services and used the limited procurement method. The award and contract are recorded under the British Council’s procurement process.

This award demonstrates demand from the British Council for a specialist vulnerability intelligence subscription serving security, research and development, and infrastructure functions. Suppliers best placed for comparable work will be able to monitor vulnerabilities across third-party plugins, mobile devices and operating-system or other technology platforms, and provide timely, actionable alerts. Credible competitors should also understand software components, dependencies and development frameworks, and be able to relate intelligence to an organisation’s asset inventory. Useful capability includes supporting vulnerability prevention, inspection and attack-surface reduction rather than simply supplying undifferentiated threat information. The successful supplier’s profile indicates that substantial technology delivery capacity and experience supporting complex, internationally located environments may be relevant when this buyer next assesses the requirement.

## Notice

To meet the security protection requirements of the Security, R&D and Infra teams, including but not limited to vulnerability alerts for third-party plugins, mobile terminals and system platforms. We aim to stay updated on the latest vulnerability intelligence related to components, dependencies and frameworks, conduct prevention and inspections based on the company's asset inventory to reduce the attack surface. Taking all the above factors into comprehensive consideration.
