Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Colchester City Council commissioned a fully integrated finance system. This is a finance-software service for the council, with delivery in the East of England. The requirement is for an integrated system rather than a specified set of individual finance services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Integrated Business Software and Solutions Ltd, trading as Integra. The award date was 28 August 2026, the same date as the tender submission deadline. The awarded value is £576,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The procurement method is recorded as “Other”; no evaluation criteria are stated in the available process details.

This award demonstrates Colchester City Council’s demand for a supplier able to provide a fully integrated finance system. The council marked the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so businesses of that scale may be credible competitors for this type of work. Suppliers should be able to deliver an integrated finance-system service for a public-sector buyer. The award provides evidence of the scale and nature of the requirement, but sets out no particular technical capabilities, accreditations or experience thresholds against which future competitors can assess their fit.
