Summary of the contracting process

The Finance Systems Support Contract was initiated by The National Archives, located in Richmond upon Thames, England. The procurement process is at the award stage, having officially been awarded on 1st August 2019, with the contract set to commence on 1st September 2019 and run until 31st August 2020. This limited procurement method involved a competitive quotation process below the threshold, with the tender period concluding on 8th July 2019. The contract is classified under the Software package and information systems category, with additional classifications in repair and maintenance services and installation services.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in software maintenance and support services. Companies that can provide comprehensive support and assurance for finance systems, specifically for platforms akin to IPOS and SUN, would be well-suited to compete for such tenders. The emphasis on competitive quotations indicates a favourable environment for agile and adaptable suppliers seeking to expand their market share in public sector services.
