Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process detailed here involves the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council as the buying organisation, focusing on the provision of community infant feeding services. This process is currently in the planning stage under the identification code ocds-h6vhtk-069170, with a planned future notice date set for 12th October 2026. It falls within the community health services industry category, aiming to serve the region coded as UKE41 in the United Kingdom. The contract period is expected to commence on 1st April 2027 and conclude on 1st April 2029, with the possibility of extensions up to 1st April 2032.

The planned procurement presents a significant business development opportunity, particularly for businesses specialising in community health services. Companies with expertise in delivering comprehensive infant feeding programmes are encouraged to prepare and compete. This tender opens up possibilities for businesses to establish or strengthen their presence in the public health sector by collaborating with a sub-central government authority. Additionally, the light-touch regime indicates a more streamlined procurement process, potentially offering smaller and medium-sized enterprises a greater chance of successful participation.
