Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Southwark procured mass transaction upload software, a transaction-processing and financial systems software package. The requirement is for software that supports uploading transactions in bulk, following a data-cleansing exercise. The work is associated with Southwark Council in London, with delivery identified as being in England. This is a software supply requirement rather than a works or general services contract. The award record describes the procurement as mass upload software and transaction-processing software; it does not set out further operational functions or technical specifications.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Precisely Software Limited on 30 November 2022 through a direct award. The awarded value was £110,000. The contract period runs from 2 January 2023 to 29 June 2027. The tender records an estimated value range of £110,000 to £170,000. No lots are identified. The procurement was classed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published information does not describe a competitive evaluation or scoring basis; the recorded route was a direct award. The award is active, and no cancellation or termination is recorded.

This award shows that Southwark buys software for bulk transaction uploads as part of its financial systems, with a multi-year requirement rather than a one-off software purchase. A supplier seeking to compete for a similar requirement at this buyer should be able to provide transaction-processing software suited to financial-system workflows and support reliable mass uploading. The contract was awarded directly to a large software supplier, and the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises; this indicates a requirement positioned for suppliers with established software products and the capacity to serve a local authority. Relevant experience would include implementing or supplying financial systems software for public-sector transaction processing.
