## Summary

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council procured a single platform to issue Crisis and Resilience Fund awards. The system supports awards as retail vouchers, cash payments and energy support, as well as essential household goods delivered to recipients’ addresses. This is a technology service centred on payment and voucher solutions, combining payment delivery with the provision of essential items to residents. The work is for the Council’s crisis-support programme and is delivered in Bradford, Yorkshire and the Humber.

The procurement is complete and HUGGG Limited was selected for the contract. The award was made on 15 October 2026, for £1.2 million. The awarded contract period runs from 16 October 2026 to 31 March 2029. The tender estimated a value range of £200,000 to £1.2 million. The Council used a restricted procedure and made a direct award through the Government Commercial Agency’s Payment Solutions 2 framework, under its vouchers lot. The procurement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The recorded scope covers one platform, with no separate lots identified.

For suppliers seeking to compete when Bradford’s crisis-payment requirement returns, the selected solution demonstrates the need to provide a single platform that can administer different forms of support: retail vouchers, cash payments and energy assistance. The service also needs to support delivery of essential household items to recipients’ homes, so credible providers should be able to coordinate both payment mechanisms and fulfilment of goods. The requirement was procured through a framework-based direct award, indicating that suppliers seeking this type of work should be positioned within relevant public-sector payment frameworks. The Council deemed the opportunity unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, and the award went to a large supplier; competitors should therefore be able to demonstrate the organisational capacity to deliver a council-wide service across these support types.
