Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council procured a cloud-delivered Palo Alto Prisma Access security solution. The requirement covers supply of specified Palo Alto Networks licences, subscriptions and hardware, together with support and associated services. This is an IT security and support requirement for the council, with delivery in Bradford, Yorkshire. The scope is tied to the named Palo Alto Networks solution rather than a general IT services requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to British Telecommunications Limited following a direct award. The award was made on 31 July 2026, at a value of £1,412,852.55. The award’s contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2028; the overall tender record gives a contract period ending 2 August 2031. The original submission deadline was 23 July 2026. The published data does not describe an evaluation score or criteria beyond the direct-award route. The requirement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers considering a future requirement from Bradford Council, this award shows demand for Palo Alto Prisma Access delivered as a cloud security solution, with licences and subscriptions supported by hardware, ongoing support and associated services. A credible competitor would need to supply or work effectively with the specified Palo Alto Networks products and provide the technical capability to support their deployment and continued operation. The scale of the package, and the selection of a large telecommunications provider through a direct award, indicate a requirement suited to suppliers able to combine product access with delivery and support capacity. The stated scope does not identify particular certifications or detailed technical qualifications, so the clearest commercial fit is established Palo Alto Networks capability across supply and service.
