Summary of the contracting process

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has completed the procurement process titled "CBMDC 521", which involves procurement of IT services, specifically software licences and support. The tender was procured through the Crown Commercial Services G-Cloud 14 framework and covers the region of Yorkshire and the Humber in the United Kingdom. The process reached its award stage on 18th March 2026, with delivery set to commence from 1st October 2025 and continue until 30th September 2028. The contract's value is approximately £65,370, and the procurement was carried out via direct award, demonstrating an expedited, competitive process for obtaining these services without suitability for SMEs or VCSEs.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in IT consulting, software development, and support services. While direct award processes can be competitive, businesses with a robust portfolio in delivering software licences and dashboards to large-scale public sector clients are well-positioned to succeed in such procurement processes. Large businesses that can offer comprehensive support and maintenance services over a multi-year period are particularly advantageous, as demonstrated by the involvement of Community Brands UK Ltd as the supplier. This tender highlights a lucrative opportunity for businesses seeking to expand their footprint in the public sector by showcasing reliability and capability within the IT services industry.
