Summary of the contracting process

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is seeking a provider for structured data and voice cabling works supporting its existing and future copper and fibre infrastructure. The work covers installations in Council buildings across the Bradford district, including Bingley, Ilkley, Keighley and Shipley, as well as sites beyond the district. The requirement is for network cabling services across a varied public estate, including offices, schools, leisure centres, museums and libraries. Installations may involve both suspended and solid ceiling arrangements. Basic works are to be priced at fixed rates and carried out during normal weekday working hours. The provider will support the Council’s buildings with cabling installations as required.

The Council invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for enquiries was 13 November 2026 at 17:00, and the submission deadline was 30 November 2026 at 13:00. The contract period was set to run from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2029, with an option to extend by up to four additional 12-month periods, potentially taking the end date to 28 February 2033. The estimated value is £500,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 including VAT). Bids are assessed on quality (50%), price (40%) and social value (10%). Economic and technical selection criteria apply, with details set out in the tender documents.

This requirement suits an experienced, suitably qualified cabling provider able to install structured data and voice cabling across copper and fibre infrastructure. Suppliers need to be comfortable working in a varied public-sector estate, including offices, schools, leisure centres, museums and libraries, and to handle both suspended and solid ceiling arrangements. The work calls for capacity to undertake installations across multiple sites in Bradford and beyond, with basic works delivered during standard weekday hours. The Council has indicated that the opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The stated evaluation gives substantial weight to technical quality, alongside price and social value, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate a credible delivery approach and relevant experience.
