Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council procured IT services for Modern.Gov, covering annual software support, maintenance and hosting. Modern.Gov is the core requirement, with the service intended to keep the council’s application operating and supported. The work is delivered for the council in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The procurement falls within the broad IT services category, including software support, internet services and related technical assistance. The named buyer is City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council. This requirement is relevant to software suppliers, application support providers, managed hosting companies and firms able to maintain a specialist public-sector system over a multi-year service period.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award under GCA framework RM6259, Vertical Application Solutions. The tender submission deadline was 6 July 2026. The estimated procurement value was between £49,000 and £55,000. The contract was awarded on 17 August 2026 to Civica UK Ltd for £49,109. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The award is active. The opportunity was treated as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. One supplier was selected. The process therefore records a completed purchase rather than a requirement currently seeking competing bids.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for continuing Modern.Gov support, maintenance and hosting within Bradford council. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in the Modern.Gov application, reliable application support, maintenance capability and secure managed hosting. It would also need the operational capacity to provide uninterrupted service over a multi-year public-sector contract, including responding to support needs and maintaining the hosted environment. The buyer used the GCA RM6259 Vertical Application Solutions route and made a direct award, so suppliers monitoring this buyer would need to understand that framework and its access arrangements. The procurement’s stated SME and VCSE suitability settings indicate a preference for established delivery capacity at this scale.
