Summary of the contracting process

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has recently awarded a contract for SAP Licences (VEAT Notification) to SAP UK Ltd. The procurement was carried out through a limited procurement method, with the contract valued at £700,000. The Council aimed to renew its existing SAP Enterprise Licences, Support and Maintenance for a 2-year period in order to continue developing its SAP system and access updates.

This award presents an opportunity for businesses providing IT services, especially those specializing in consulting, software development, and technical support. Companies with expertise in IT solutions, particularly those related to SAP products, would be well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes. As the Council continues to develop its SAP infrastructure, there may be future opportunities for businesses to engage in providing ongoing support and maintenance services for this system.
