## Summary

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council procured a one-year software update and support service for Oracle licences. The requirement is for software maintenance and support, rather than new software development or a wider IT transformation. The named delivery area is Bradford, within the council’s district. Oracle Corporation UK Limited was selected to provide the service. The procurement is a single requirement, with no separate service areas described, and the council is the buying organisation. The licence support arrangement includes the possibility of purchasing additional licences. This opportunity is most relevant to suppliers able to provide Oracle licence updates and ongoing product support to a local authority.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Oracle Corporation UK Limited on 1 October 2026. The award value is £75,302.59 excluding VAT (£90,363.11 including VAT). The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2027. This was a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The procurement has one lot, covering Oracle licence update and support. Additional licences may be purchased under an option. The award is recorded as active, and a contract signature was scheduled for 2 October 2026. The published evaluation data does not set out award criteria; no competitive evaluation basis is reported for this direct award.

For suppliers seeking similar future work with Bradford Council, this award demonstrates demand for continued Oracle licence updates and support, with the option to add licences. A credible competitor would need to supply or be authorised to support Oracle products, maintain the expertise needed for software updates and ongoing support, and manage licence entitlements, including any additional purchases. The selected supplier was a large software corporation, indicating that the requirement was fulfilled by an established provider; smaller specialists may need to demonstrate equivalent product capability and service capacity. The route used was a direct award without competition, so the relevant commercial evidence is the council’s recurring need for this specific Oracle support service, not an open competitive exercise.
