Summary of the contracting process

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has undertaken a direct procurement process with the aim of continuing the provision of 25 education places for pupils who have been excluded from school, targeting Key Stage 3 and 4 for the 2026-27 academic year. This contract falls under the category of secondary education services and is valued at £800,000 (excluding VAT). The procurement was conducted under a direct award due to extreme and unavoidable urgency and the necessity for a repeat service. The location of the service is in Bradford, United Kingdom, within the UKE41 region. The process, currently in the award update stage and last updated on 15 June 2026, sees the contract period running from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, with PRISM YOUTH PROJECT being the designated supplier.

This procurement offers businesses in the education or youth services sectors significant growth opportunities, particularly those specialising in secondary education services. Given the urgent need for continuity in educational support for excluded students, service providers able to deliver tailored educational programs efficiently will find this project aligns well with their capabilities. Established organisations like PRISM YOUTH PROJECT, which possess experience in similar direct award agreements and a presence in the targeted geographical region, are well-positioned to benefit from such opportunities. This contract supports not just organisational growth but also contributes positively to community well-being by ensuring educational provision for disadvantaged pupils.
