The contract falls within the IT services industry, specifically classified under CPV code 72000000. This tender is currently in the active stage, with the tender period set to end on 29th June 2018. The contract, valued at £28,175, is scheduled to commence on 1st August 2018 and will run for one year, with an option to extend for two additional years. Delivery is expected in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom, and the procurement method used is a selective negotiated procedure. This tender presents a strategic opportunity, particularly for businesses involved in IT services, maintenance, and software support.

Therefore, businesses with the capacity to provide exclusive support and maintenance services for established systems, particularly those with experience in transport service scheduling and dispatch, would be well-suited to navigate this procurement process. Engaging in such opportunities may bolster business growth by fostering long-term relationships with public sector entities like Bradford Council. ## Notice Trapeze Pass Export Interface Support and Maintenance.
