## Summary

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is seeking expressions of interest (EOI) for a contract focusing on IT support for colleagues with assistive needs. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a scheduled preliminary market engagement due by 2nd April 2026. The tender aims to enhance IT services for disabled colleagues over a two-year period with a potential extension. Located in Bradford, the council intends to achieve Disability Confident Level 3 accreditation within the contract period. The industry category for this tender is IT services, including consulting, software development, and support, with a contract value estimated at £75,000. The procurement method is a tender process involving future communication notices expected on 6th July 2026.

This procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities for firms specialising in IT services and support, particularly those adept with assistive technology solutions. Companies that can provide consulting and software development services are well-suited to compete, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The project requires vendors to contribute to the knowledge transfer and upskill IT colleagues, thereby ensuring long-term improvements in service delivery. Firms that can offer innovative solutions to improve IT support for disabilities are encouraged to participate, potentially contributing to significant advancements in workplace inclusivity and accessibility.

## Notice

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (CBMDC) currently provides IT support to colleagues with assistive needs. CBMDC requires a further understanding of the potential market options available for a service that will enhance our IT support to disabled colleagues over the course of 2 years, with a possible extension. The intention is that knowledge transfer and upskilling of IT colleagues will take place over the two years. This will measurably enhance the IT support given to disabled colleagues and support the Council's efforts to achieve Disability Confident Level 3 accreditation within this period.
