Summary of the contracting process

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council procured a 12-month Tenable One software licensing service for use in its IT environment. The requirement covers the supply of Tenable One licences rather than implementation, consultancy or wider managed services. Delivery is for the council in Bradford, with the awarded service classified as IT services covering software, support and related digital services. The procurement was made through the council’s framework for IT software, using a further competition. Additional licences may be purchased if required during the arrangement. This is a public-sector software licensing requirement for suppliers serving local authorities and organisations with cyber-security, network visibility or related technology licensing needs.

The procurement is complete: Phoenix Software Limited was awarded the contract on 6 July 2026, and the contract was signed on 23 July 2026. It followed a competitive further competition under the council’s IT software framework, using a selective procedure, with one completed lot. The contract runs from 2 September 2026 to 1 September 2027. Its value is £175,506 excluding VAT and £210,607 including VAT. The award was above the relevant threshold, and the standstill period ended on 20 July 2026. The contract is active and includes an option to purchase additional licences if required. The arrangement is licensing-only, with no key performance indicators assigned.

This award shows a defined requirement for Tenable One licensing within Bradford Council’s IT estate, procured through a software framework and competitive further competition. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need direct capability to supply Tenable One licences, understand public-sector software procurement and framework call-offs, and manage a licensing-only contract without relying on implementation or managed-service delivery. The scale indicates a substantial council-wide licensing requirement, while the option for additional licences rewards suppliers able to respond flexibly to changing licence volumes. Relevant competitors should be able to demonstrate reliable software supply, strong account and licence administration, and experience supporting local-government technology buyers through compliant framework routes.
