Summary of the contracting process

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council procured a wireless radio system and associated telecommunications infrastructure maintenance services. The system supports day-to-day operations across the Bradford District for traffic wardens, enforcement wardens, shoplifting enforcement officers and other enforcement personnel. The requirement covers communications equipment and the maintenance needed to keep the radio system operating for these operational teams. It is classified as services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buying organisation is a sub-central public authority based in Bradford. The operational focus is the Bradford District, although the recorded delivery scope extends across England. This is a specialist communications requirement for suppliers able to support radio-based operational communications and related infrastructure.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. NINEHUNDRED COMMUNICATIONS GROUP LIMITED was selected for the single lot. The award value is £7,800 excluding VAT and £9,360 including VAT. The award date is 16 September 2026. The contract runs from 16 September 2026 to 30 August 2027, with a possible one-year extension to 29 August 2028. The recorded award status is pending, with contract signature scheduled for 16 September 2026. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The procurement is based on the Procurement Act 2023 and is below the applicable threshold.

This award identifies a recurring operational need for reliable wireless radio communications within Bradford’s enforcement services. Suppliers considering future work with this buyer would need credible capability in radio systems, communications equipment and telecommunications infrastructure maintenance. They would also need to support users who depend on the system for daily enforcement activity, including traffic, enforcement and shoplifting operations. Relevant commercial strength would include maintaining an established operational system, responding to faults, and providing dependable technical support across the Bradford District. The opportunity is suitable for an SME, indicating that a specialist communications business with appropriate technical capacity could be well placed. Experience delivering resilient radio or comparable operational communications services would help demonstrate fit when the requirement next reaches the market.
