Summary of the contracting process

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has concluded the procurement process titled "Education for Excluded Pupils," aimed to provide 20 additional education places for Key Stage 4 pupils excluded from school for the 2025-26 academic year. The buyer, a public authority in the United Kingdom, has awarded the contract under a direct procurement method, specifically designated as a "Below threshold - without competition" procedure, adhering to the "light touch" special regime. The process advanced to the award stage and has been finalised, with the contract period starting on 12th December 2025 and ending on 31st July 2026. Located in Bradford, United Kingdom (region UKE41), this contract falls under the services category, specifically secondary education services, and has been signed on the award day with a gross value of GBP 480,000.

This tender provides business development prospects for organisations specialising in education services, particularly secondary education. The awarded contract has been granted to Bradford College Ltd, a large-scale supplier local to the area, illustrating the potential for growth and collaboration for similar educational institutions within the region. This opportunity is best suited for enterprises that provide innovative and tailored educational programmes, especially for excluded pupils at Key Stage 4, given the absence of competitive bidding in this procurement process. Businesses in the education sector can leverage contractual engagements with public authorities to expand their service offerings and strengthen community ties through impactful educational initiatives.
