Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council is procuring, on behalf of Chichester District Council, an on-premises finance management system. The requirement covers software licences, licence management, support and associated services, as set out in the specification. This is a finance systems software service, including related licence management software development services (CPV 48442000). The system and associated support are intended for delivery in the South East of England. The opportunity is relevant to suppliers that provide deployable financial management platforms and can support a public-sector customer with the operational, technical and licensing services needed to run the system on the customer’s own premises. The stated procurement category is services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Civica UK Limited on 30 June 2026 for £247,330 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2030. The tender submission deadline was 15 May 2026 at 2pm. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. The award is active, and the contract covers the finance management system licences, support and associated services for Chichester District Council. Civica UK Limited is identified as the selected supplier.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established public-sector demand for an on-premises finance management system supported by long-term licensing, technical assistance and associated services. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a mature financial management platform that can be deployed within a council’s own environment, with dependable licence administration, implementation capability and sustained support. Experience of serving local authorities or similarly regulated organisations would help demonstrate understanding of public-sector finance, governance, security and service continuity, although no specific accreditation is identified here. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable, indicating that a capable specialist provider could compete, potentially through a framework route or partnership.
