Summary of the contracting process

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council procured SAP product licence, support and maintenance services from EPI-USE Limited. The requirement covers key maintenance tools for SAP that support software development, fault fixes and testing, rather than user licences. The work is categorised as services and relates to maintaining telecommunications infrastructure and network systems. Delivery covers locations across England. The procurement was arranged as a single lot, which was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Bradford Council is the public-sector buyer, and EPI-USE Limited is the selected supplier. The requirement is relevant to businesses providing SAP maintenance tools and associated technical support, particularly where their services cover development, testing and remediation of SAP environments.

The procurement has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. The tender is complete and the selected supplier is EPI-USE Limited. The award outcome was recorded on 16 September 2026. The awarded value is £26,709.20 excluding VAT, or £32,051 including VAT. The contract period runs from 20 December 2026 to 19 December 2028, with signature scheduled for 16 September 2026. The procurement used one lot and was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The award is below the relevant threshold. The contract covers SAP maintenance tools and related support for development, fixes and testing across England.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from Bradford Council for specialist SAP maintenance tools that are not based on end-user licensing. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in SAP development support, fault correction and testing, together with the capacity to maintain those tools throughout a multi-year public-sector service period. Suppliers should be able to support telecommunications and network infrastructure environments across England and explain how their tools improve the reliability and efficiency of SAP development and maintenance work. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs, so specialist SAP businesses with focused technical expertise may be well placed to compete when this type of requirement returns. Experience delivering dependable maintenance and responsive technical support would strengthen a supplier’s position.
