Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dartford Borough Council recently concluded the award of a contract titled "Efinancials Software Support and Services 2025-2028" under the industry category of industry-specific software packages. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically as a call-off from the CCS Framework (ref RM6285), addressing back-office software needs. With an awarded value of £326,000, the contract spans from 22 May 2025 to 30 September 2028 and is set within the South East of England. The award stage was completed with the announcement made on 10 July 2025.

This procurement process presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software support and services, particularly those focusing on industry-specific solutions. While the tender process adopted a selective approach via an established framework agreement, highlighting established suppliers like ADVANCED BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LIMITED, it remains an illustrative model for SMEs aiming to engage with public sector contracts by emphasizing tailored industry solutions. Companies with expertise in software packages looking to expand their portfolio within the public sector through similar frameworks or future opportunities could find this sector particularly growth-conducive.
