## Summary

The Bradford Metropolitan District Council is currently seeking bids for the "Cherwell Licences Subscription" contract, with a focus on IT services, particularly consulting and software development. The procurement process is active and is being conducted through a selective procurement method, specifically a negotiated procedure. The tender period is set to conclude on 16 March 2018, while the contract is planned to commence on 1 June 2018 and extend until 31 May 2021. The estimated contract value ranges from £220,000 to £250,000, and the delivery location is within Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with capabilities in software licensing and management solutions. Companies that have experience with Cherwell Service Management or similar systems would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. As the council is not seeking a new system, but rather a subscription for existing services, businesses that can demonstrate reliability in service provision and support could gain a competitive advantage in this procurement process.

## Notice

The Council is looking to contract for Cherwell Service Management (CSM) concurrent user licence subscription only. The contract is not to procure a new system or solution, it is solely for the licence subscription on the system it has previously procured. The contract for development/configuration works is a separate arrangement with a wider supplier market and was procured via an open tender.
