Summary of the contracting process

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has completed a procurement process related to the Department for Transport's Street Manager Service (Statutory Software), awarded to Kainos Software Limited. As a public authority within sub-central government, the council selected a direct procurement method, specifically below the threshold without competition, due to the specialist nature and government mandate of the software under the New Roads and Streetworks Act 1991. The contract, valued at £90,000 gross (£75,000 net), commenced on 15 January 2026 and will conclude on 31 March 2027. The delivery is focused in the UKE41 region, aligning with the procurement category of software packages and information systems.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in government-mandated software solutions, particularly those with capabilities in developing or managing statutory software services. Large-scale software firms or niche developers experienced in government regulations and infrastructure management software might find particular growth potential through similar contracts. Additionally, businesses looking to expand their reach within the public sector should consider developing bespoke solutions aligned with legislative requirements, making them suitable contenders for such procurement opportunities.
