Summary of the contracting process

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council purchased a 12-month Cloudflare platform bundle licence. This is a software licensing requirement, rather than a stated development or support project. The contract serves the Council, with delivery in Bradford. The requirement was run as a further competition under the Council’s framework for IT software.

The procurement is complete and Phoenix Software Limited was selected. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 15 January 2027 to 14 January 2028. Its value is £30,698.02 excluding VAT and £36,838 including VAT. The Council used a competitive further competition under its IT software framework, through a selective, below-threshold procedure. The procurement comprised one lot. The contract allows additional licences to be purchased as required.

This award shows demand from Bradford Council for Cloudflare platform licensing through its IT software framework. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to supply the relevant Cloudflare licences and be able to compete through that framework’s further-competition route. The contract also demonstrates that the Council may require flexibility to add licences during the contract. The awarded supplier was a large software company, so competitors should be prepared to fulfil a council-scale software licensing requirement. The procurement does not set out specific technical credentials, accreditations or service capabilities beyond the Cloudflare platform bundle licence.
