UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is establishing a framework for IT consumables, computer peripherals and accessories, and ad-hoc hardware. The requirement also covers associated installation, support and maintenance for items purchased. The procurement is primarily for goods, with related services, and is intended to give the council access to suitable providers for its IT equipment and supply needs. Delivery is stated as taking place in the United Kingdom. The framework is structured to allow the council to buy covered products and related services through appointed providers, rather than to procure a single item or one-off installation project.

The procurement has been awarded through an open procedure. Six suppliers were appointed to the framework: Advania UK (CCS) Limited, Ballicom Ltd, BT Telecommunications Plc, CBC Computer Systems Ltd, Next Generation IT Services Ltd and Probrand Limited. The award date was 28 September 2026. The award value is £4.8 million excluding VAT (£5.76 million including VAT). The framework contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2034. It is an open framework, with anticipated reopening in years three and six; the second iteration has an optional two-year extension. The tender was valued at £1.5 million excluding VAT (£1.8 million including VAT). Evaluation weighted quality at 80%, price at 10% and social value at 10%.

For suppliers considering future opportunities with Bradford Council, this award demonstrates recurring demand for a broad range of IT consumables, peripherals, accessories and ad-hoc hardware, with installation and ongoing support or maintenance where required. The six appointed suppliers include both small and medium-sized businesses and large firms, indicating that businesses of different sizes competed successfully. Credible competitors will need to supply a wide range of IT equipment and provide dependable associated services. The evaluation placed substantially greater weight on quality than price, while also scoring social value, so suppliers should be able to evidence strong delivery quality and meaningful social value alongside competitive pricing. The framework’s planned reopening mechanism provides a route for new providers to seek appointment during its lifetime.
