Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, focuses on the acquisition of an HR and Finance system, specifically classified under the industry-specific software package with CPV code 48100000. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure and has completed the award stage. The contract, valued at £780,000, was awarded to Softcat Plc, a large company. Key dates include the tender period ending on 30th June 2024 and the contract period running from 31st July 2024 to 30th July 2030. The procurement is intended for regions including the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, and more broadly, Europe and other territories.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those with capabilities in HR and payroll finance systems. Although the opportunity has been awarded to a large firm, the open procedure used suggests future tenders might also be accessible to a wide range of businesses. Companies with a focus on industry-specific software, as well as those experienced with public sector clients, would be well-positioned to compete in similar procurement processes managed by public authorities like The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames.
