Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council, located in Durham, England, has completed a public procurement process titled "Oracle Fusion - Direct Award via CCS BOS2 (RM6194)". This tender falls under the "Software package and information systems" industry category and was concluded with an award on 29th May 2025, with the contract beginning on 1st September 2025 and running through to 31st August 2035. The procurement stage is "Award," with the procurement method being a "selective" call-off from a framework agreement. The contract is set to replace the Oracle EBS and Resourcelink HCM system with Oracle Fusion to manage finance and Human Capital Management across the North East region of the United Kingdom.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations within the software and systems integration sectors. Large companies similar in scale and capability to Oracle Corporation UK Limited, which was awarded the contract, are well-suited to compete for such tenders, given the scale and complexity of the integrated ERP solutions required. While the tender is not aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, it offers a substantial financial engagement valued at approximately £10.8 million, with potential extensions, thus encouraging participation from well-established providers in the market.
