The estimated value of the contract ranges from £1,000,000 to £1,200,000, and the procurement method employed is a selective negotiated procedure. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in IT services, particularly those experienced in system support, maintenance, and hosting solutions. Companies with expertise in the Northgate system or those capable of delivering similar services will be well-positioned to compete, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This initiative allows participants to contribute to enhancing the performance and reliability of critical public sector IT infrastructure. ## Notice This VEAT notice is to inform the market of the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (CBMDC) intention to enter into a 5 year contract for the support and maintenance and a change to a hosted solution of the Northgate system. CBMDC procured the Northgate system via a perpetual licensing model, with significant capital investment. There are no on-going costs associated with licencing. The on-going costs are associated with support & maintenance and hosting charges. The Northgate contract is a direct agreement with Northgate Public Services the owner of the IPR. The Northgate system is currently an on premise system which is provisioned on the Councils infrastructure. Support and maintenance agreements provide the Council the right to product upgrades and fixes . The upgrades are critical as they reflect legislative and regulatory changes. A review to establish the long term strategy for the Northgate System concluded that the preferred option was to move to a hosted solution. The hosted solution offers improved performance, increased system availability and quicker problem resolution. Northgate would be responsible for support and maintenance of the infrastructure, system upgrades, system performance and availability/monitoring. CBMDC are not looking to procure a new system. CBMDC are seeking to contract for on-going licencing and support and additional hosting of the system. Northgate created the IPR and as such are the experts in providing a hosted Northgate system. They are the only supplier that can provide a single source solution. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b219b3b1-928d-457a-8d73-144627203275 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Jun 2019 | | Submission deadline | 8 Jul 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Sep 2019 - 20 Sep 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,200,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRADFORD METROPOLITAN DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | BRADFORD | | Post town | Bradford | | Postcode | BD1 1HX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE41 Bradford | | Local authority | Bradford | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Bradford West | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 28 Jun 2019 at 09:38 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b219b3b1-928d-457a-8d73-144627203275 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b219b3b1-928d-457a-8d73-144627203275 28th June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.bradford.gov.uk/bmdc ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
