Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council commissioned project management consultancy for finance system and enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementations. The requirement covers technical analysis and consultancy services, with an additional software programming and consultancy element. The work is delivered in Sheffield and across Yorkshire and the Humber, supporting the council’s implementation activity rather than the supply of standalone software or hardware. This is a professional services requirement for a consultant or consultancy able to manage finance-system and ERP-related change, coordinate implementation work and provide technical delivery oversight. The buying organisation is Sheffield City Council, based at Town Hall, Pinstone Street, Sheffield.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award. The contract was awarded to Gravitas Recruitment Group Limited for £15,147 including the stated currency of GBP. The award date was 9 September 2026. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 26 August 2026. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and the published process used direct award rather than an open competition. One supplier received the award. The procurement was not identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active.

This completed award is a clear example of Sheffield City Council buying specialist project management support for finance-system and ERP implementations. A future competitor would need credible experience managing comparable business-system change, including planning implementation activity, coordinating stakeholders, controlling delivery risks and supporting technical consultancy work. The requirement is suited to an established provider able to supply a project management consultant for a defined implementation programme and to work with a public-sector client in Sheffield and the wider Yorkshire and the Humber area. The selected supplier was recorded as a large organisation, while the procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Relevant ERP, finance transformation and technical consultancy capability would therefore be central to competing for a similar requirement.
