## Summary

Salisbury City Council procured an advanced endpoint protection platform with extended detection and response (XDR) to protect the Council’s issued laptops and desktop PCs. The requirement is for cyber security software and its provision, with related computer services. The buying organisation is Salisbury City Council, and the service relates to the Council’s devices in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Salisbury City Council used a below-threshold limited competition and awarded the single lot to Blue Frontier. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 4 October 2026 to 3 October 2027. Its value is £30,976.32 excluding VAT (£37,171.58 including VAT). The subscription can be renewed in successive 12-month increments, with the stated maximum contract extent ending on 3 October 2030. The published process information does not state the award date or explain the evaluation criteria.

This award shows demand from Salisbury City Council for endpoint protection and XDR covering its issued laptops and PCs. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need to provide an advanced endpoint security platform capable of detecting and responding to threats across user devices, together with software supply and associated computer services. The requirement is focused on protecting the Council’s own estate, rather than a broad general cyber security programme. The selected supplier was an SME, demonstrating that this scale of platform and service was delivered by a smaller business; the information does not establish that SME status was a condition of the competition. The subscription’s annual renewal structure indicates a requirement combining a software platform with continuing provision over successive periods.
