## Summary

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has concluded a public procurement process for the QES Case Review System, a service aimed at enhancing local safeguarding teams' operations. Located in Bradford, United Kingdom, the council has awarded a two-year contract to QES Online following a direct procurement method without competition, as it was below threshold. The procurement, under the light touch regime, focuses on industry-specific software development services and system management software packages. The contract for this procurement phase started on 5th December 2025 and will run until 30th June 2027, with an annual review to ensure cost-effectiveness.

This tender offers growth opportunities for businesses specialising in case management solutions and supporting safeguarding operations, particularly those dealing with multi-agency information collection and application. Although the contract was awarded directly to QES Online, SMEs with expertise in system management and software development tailored to industry-specific needs might find similar opportunities in future tenders. Enterprises equipped to offer enhanced digital solutions for public authority systems would be well-suited for such competitions, providing they meet necessary criteria and align with service requirements. The focus is on improving support mechanisms, which could encourage alliances or partnerships to expand business offerings in the public sector.

## Notice

After reviewing comprehensive case management solutions (designed to support the work of local safeguarding teams) we have found that moving from the current suite of systems would cause too much disruption. QES systems enable the collection, interpretation, and application of multi-agency information to improve support for children. This is an 2yr extension to an existing agreement in place, and will be reviewed on an annual basis by the partnership to make sure it is cost effective.
