Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council procured financial and cash-management software: a software system supporting the council’s financial and cash management. The purchase is classified as software and information systems. Delivery is in the North West of England. This is a software supply requirement rather than a works contract or a general professional-services commission. Civica UK Ltd was selected to provide the system.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Civica UK Ltd on 16 October 2026. The award value is £714,720. The contract period runs from 25 October 2026 to 24 October 2030. The council used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a Crown Commercial Service framework agreement. The tender deadline was 2 October 2026 at 5pm. The process was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No separate evaluation criteria or lot structure are recorded in the procurement details.

For suppliers competing for this council’s future financial and cash-management software requirement, credibility will depend on providing a software system that supports both financial and cash-management functions. The selected supplier was Civica UK Ltd, a large software company, indicating that the council’s requirement was fulfilled by an established provider. The procurement was made through a call-off from a Crown Commercial Service framework, so relevant framework access and the ability to compete through that route are important. The stated SME suitability means smaller providers were also considered suitable for the requirement. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate a system aligned to the council’s operational needs and capacity to supply it across a multi-year contract.
