## Summary

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is purchasing Oracle software update licences and support for its Oracle systems. The service covers software updates and support for a one-year term, with the possibility of buying additional licences. This is an IT software support service, rather than a software development or general consultancy requirement. The buyer is Bradford Council, and the council is based in Bradford. The procurement is focused on Oracle licences and associated maintenance, so it is most relevant to suppliers able to provide Oracle-authorised licensing and support for the council’s existing software environment.

The procurement is complete and an award has been made to Oracle Corporation UK Limited. The council used a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The award date is not stated. The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2027. The awarded value is £75,302.59 excluding VAT (£90,363.11 including VAT). There is one lot, covering the Oracle licence and support requirement. Additional licences may be purchased under the stated option. The published procurement information does not set out an evaluation basis, as the contract was awarded without competition.

For suppliers assessing future demand from Bradford Council, this award demonstrates recurring expenditure on Oracle software updates and support, with scope to add licences as requirements change. A credible competitor would need the ability to supply Oracle licences and maintain the related update and support service across the council’s software estate. The buyer selected Oracle Corporation UK Limited through a direct award, so suppliers would need to understand the incumbent licensing arrangements and demonstrate a clear route to provide equivalent Oracle products and support if the requirement returns to market. This is a focused software maintenance opportunity rather than a broad IT services contract; suppliers whose strengths are unrelated to Oracle licensing and support are unlikely to be well placed.
