Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council procured CaseFlow, an information technology service covering software development, support and related IT services. The requirement is for CRF CaseFlow, including capacity for 10,000 transactions, to enable payments for Crisis and Resilience. The work is classified under CPV 72000000 and is delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber. The council is the buying organisation and the service is supplied as a software application solution rather than as general-purpose IT consultancy. The requirement therefore suits businesses providing case-management, payment-processing or related public-sector software, together with implementation and support services. Its stated purpose is to support the council’s Crisis and Resilience payments activity through a dedicated CaseFlow application.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The council used a direct award under the GCA Vertical Application Solution (VAS) RM6259 route. NEC SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS UK LIMITED was awarded the contract on 27 August 2026 for £82,500 including the published award value. The estimated procurement range was £82,500 to £100,000. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 September 2029, and the tender submission deadline was 27 August 2026. The award was active. The opportunity was assessed as a services procurement and was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The evaluation basis was the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

This award gives software suppliers a clear example of the council’s demand for a dedicated case-flow application supporting public payments, with capacity for 10,000 transactions and a multi-year service requirement. The selected supplier, NEC SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS UK LIMITED, is a large technology business, indicating that the buyer accepted a supplier with substantial organisational scale for this requirement. Businesses seeking to compete for a comparable requirement should be credible in public-sector case-management software, payment processing, application support and the delivery of dependable transaction volumes. Familiarity with the GCA Vertical Application Solution framework and its Vertical Application Solution route would also be commercially relevant. The requirement provides a focused benchmark for the product capability, transaction capacity and delivery maturity expected by this buyer.
