Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves an active contract for the Holiday Activity and Food Programme (HAF) Booking System, funded through a HAF Grant, with the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council acting as the buying organisation. YEME TECH LIMITED has been awarded the contract to extend their existing services on an interim basis. The procurement falls under the service category, specifically software-related services, and is situated in Bradford, United Kingdom (region UKE41). The procurement stage has reached completion following legal advice supporting a contract extension to avoid disruption whilst a new long-term tender is fulfilled. The contract, valued at £45,000, commences on 1st April 2026 and concludes on 31st March 2027. This process employed a direct procurement method below threshold without competition, under the light touch regime.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses specialising in software-related services to engage with public authority contracts, specifically those categorised under sub-central government bodies. Companies with existing service delivery models tailored for booking systems, particularly large-scale enterprises, may find this contract particularly suited to their capabilities. As the contract extends previously established services, enterprises with experience in managing government-funded programmes and adapting to interim arrangements are well-positioned to benefit from this procurement opportunity in Bradford. The upcoming re-procurement phase after the interim contract promises further chances for growth and participation in subsequent tenders.

Notice Title

Holiday Activity and Food Programme (HAF) Booking System funded from HAF Grant

Notice Description

The Department for Education has confirmed continuation of the Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) Programme for 2026-2029, requiring delivery of Easter, Summer and Christmas provision. A new booking system will be procured via a full tender process; however, this will take approximately 6-8 months. To avoid disruption to programme delivery and the risk of grant funding being withdrawn, the Council seeks to extend the current contract with YemeTech Limited on an interim basis. Legal advice confirms a contract variation can be issued to allow this temporary extension while the re-procurement is completed.
