UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is seeking consultancy support to establish and embed a corporate Programme Management Office (PMO) assurance framework and operating model. The work is intended to give the Council a consistent approach to governing its portfolio, programmes and projects, particularly capital and regeneration projects and investment programmes across multiple services. The requirement combines programme and project management consultancy with organisational governance and assurance design. Delivery is for the Council in Bradford, within the United Kingdom.

The Council invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement has reached the tender stage. The deadline for clarification questions was 16 October 2026 at 16:00, and the submission deadline was 26 October 2026 at 11:00. The planned contract runs from 7 December 2026 to 6 December 2027, with an optional six-month extension, to a latest stated end date of 5 June 2028. The estimated value is £350,000 excluding VAT (£420,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation weights quality at 60%, social value at 10% and price at 30%; the award decision was scheduled by 2 December 2026.

This opportunity is suited to consultancies with experience designing and embedding corporate programme management offices, assurance frameworks and operating models in complex public-sector environments. Suppliers should be able to shape practical governance across a portfolio of capital and regeneration work, programmes and projects spanning different council services, and support consistent oversight of investment delivery. The scope calls for both programme and project management consultancy capability, alongside the ability to work across organisational functions and translate governance requirements into an operating approach. Social value forms part of the evaluation, so bidders should be prepared to demonstrate the social value their delivery offers. The requirement is a single, council-wide assignment rather than a set of separately competed service lots.
