Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council procured additional modules for its Revenue and Benefits System. The requirement is for financial analysis and accounting software, classified under CPV 48440000, forming part of the Council’s wider revenue and benefits technology environment. The work is categorised as goods and is to be delivered for the Council in the West Midlands, with the buying organisation based in Hereford. The requirement concerns software modules rather than a standalone general software supply, so relevant businesses are those providing products that extend or support public-sector revenue, benefits, financial analysis or accounting systems. Suppliers with established council-focused software offerings are likely to find the subject matter most relevant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It was conducted as a call-off under Lot 8 of the Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework, using the stated ‘Other’ procurement method. The tender submission deadline was 22 July 2026 at 23:59. Herefordshire Council awarded the contract to MRI Software Ltd on 23 July 2026. The awarded value is £77,940. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, with no separate lots or multiple awards recorded.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for additional modules supporting a council Revenue and Benefits System, at a scale suited to a focused software enhancement or implementation engagement. A credible future competitor would need a product portfolio covering revenue, benefits, financial analysis or accounting functions, together with the technical capability to supply modules that operate within an established council system. Experience of public-sector software environments, local-government processes, data handling and implementation support would strengthen a supplier’s position. The selected supplier was a large software company, indicating that relevant product maturity and delivery capacity matter, while the stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises shows that smaller organisations may also be able to compete where they can demonstrate the required capability.
