Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council has procured the continued provision of its Oracle Fusion Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution and associated services. The requirement covers software licences, cloud services, support and related services to maintain and operate the Council’s existing ERP environment. The platform supports critical corporate functions including finance, procurement, human resources and payroll. This is primarily an enterprise software and information systems requirement (CPV 48000000), categorised as goods. Delivery is for the Council in Lancashire, with the buyer based at County Hall, Preston. The arrangement also includes provisions allowing any of the 15 Lancashire councils to use the contract for Local Government Reorganisation purposes. The selected supplier is Oracle Corporation UK Limited, a large software provider.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Oracle Corporation UK Limited on 28 August 2026. It was made by direct award under the Government Commercial Agency Back Office Solutions 2 framework, as a framework call-off, rather than through an open competition. The award value is £15,430,000, with an estimated procurement range of £6,815,028 to £15,430,000. The contract period runs from 4 November 2026 to 3 November 2030. It comprises an initial 24-month term, valued at £6,904,000, from November 2026 to November 2028, with an option for a further 24 months. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 09:00. The award was made to a single supplier for continuity of the existing platform.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the requirement demonstrates substantial and recurring public-sector demand for integrated ERP platforms and managed cloud services. A credible competitor for a future requirement with Lancashire County Council would need to support core local-government functions across finance, procurement, human resources and payroll, while providing reliable software licensing, cloud hosting or services, operational support and continuity for an established enterprise environment. Relevant experience of implementing or maintaining complex Oracle Fusion or comparable ERP systems would be important, alongside the capacity to support a large council and potentially serve multiple Lancashire councils during organisational change. Suppliers should also understand public-sector framework call-offs and direct-award routes, and be able to provide a dependable long-term service rather than a standalone software product.
