Summary of the contracting process

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council procured licensing, support and maintenance for its existing Client Case Load Information System (CCIS), an IT software and support service. The system supports the council’s statutory duty to monitor young people’s participation and destinations in Bradford and to submit monthly information to the Department for Education. The requirement concerns maintaining the current solution rather than developing a new system. Work relates to Bradford, in Yorkshire and the Humber.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Access UK Limited on 29 May 2026. The award value is £70,502.40. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027, with one 12-month extension option. The tender deadline was 2 May 2026. The published information identifies a direct award; it does not set out evaluation criteria. The requirement was treated as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from Bradford Council for continuity of a specialist case-load information system used to track young people’s participation and destinations and support statutory monthly reporting to the Department for Education. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches the market would need to provide the relevant software platform, together with licensing, ongoing technical support and maintenance for an established solution. Suppliers would need to show they can keep the system dependable for council users and support accurate, regular reporting against the council’s statutory obligations. The direct award to the incumbent supplier indicates that familiarity with the current system and the ability to maintain service continuity are commercially relevant strengths for this specific requirement.
