This procurement, relevant to the IT services industry category, was conducted via an open, competitive flexible procedure. The system procured must offer comprehensive trade management support and function with both UK and global capabilities. The contract was awarded to Bloomberg Finance L.P., with a maximum value of £348,000 including VAT, and spans a three-year period beginning 1st December 2025, with potential extensions up to November 2030. The procurement stage has moved to the award phase as of October 29, 2025, with the standstill period ending on November 10, 2025. The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council, located at City Hall, Centenary Square, Bradford, acts as the contracting authority, overseeing the procurement in the region of UKE41. This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in the development and provision of investment management and financial systems software packages. Companies with a proven capability of supporting FCA-regulated asset management firms with substantial assets could find substantial growth opportunities. Though a large supplier like Bloomberg Finance L.P. succeeded, the competitive flexible procedure allowed multiple vendors to participate, offering potential visibility and networking opportunities for SMEs even if they did not secure the contract. Businesses specialising in software solutions that meet complex regulatory standards or possess a strong track record of managing pension-oriented systems may particularly benefit from engaging in similar future tenders within this market segment. ## Notice WYPF is moving forward to achieve the HMG requirement to work with other LGPS entities to form a larger pension pool entity that will seek FCA authorisation for its ongoing regulatory oversight. To achieve this, we have identified a number of key changes that are required and one of the these will be addressed by the procurement of an Investment Order Management System. The system we will procure must be able to provide full trade management support, be able to communicate with our existing service providers and have global as well as UK trade support capabilities. To ensure the system is appropriate we will need the chosen system to have a proven historic and ongoing usage providing trade support to at least three FCA regulated Asset Management companies with assets under management exceeding PS10Billion. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/069721-2025 | | Notice type | UK6 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Oct 2025 | | Submission deadline | 26 Aug 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 29 Oct 2025 | | Contract period | 1 Dec 2025 - 30 Nov 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £540,000 | | Lots value | £540,000 | | Awards value | £290,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Pending | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CITY OF 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 | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BLOOMBERG FINANCE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 66 - Financial and insurance services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 48411000 - Investment management software package - 48442000 - Financial systems software package - 66000000 - Financial and insurance services - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 72211000 - Programming services of systems and user software ## Release History - 30 Oct 2025 at 12:51 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/069721-2025 - 22 Aug 2025 at 08:15 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050705-2025 - 4 Aug 2025 at 09:07 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/045505-2025 - 29 Jul 2025 at 18:00 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044044-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/069721-2025 30th October 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050705-2025 22nd August 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/045505-2025 4th August 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044044-2025 29th July 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=96538&B= - https://www.bloomberg.com/uk - https://www.bradford.gov.uk/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
