Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Calico Group Limited procured accounting and finance software through its G-Cloud 14 framework call-off. The requirement is classified as software packages and information systems, with the specific service described as accounting finance software. It is a goods procurement focused on supplying software rather than construction, consultancy or physical equipment. Delivery is for the buyer’s operations in the North West of England, with the buyer based in Burnley. The requirement is relevant to software vendors that provide accounting and financial management systems for housing groups or similar organisations. It may also suit providers able to support implementation and ongoing use of a finance software platform, although the procurement is centred on the software supply itself.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 July 2026 to XLedger United Kingdom. The award value is £296,527.20 including the stated currency, and the contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2030. The buyer used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically the Crown Commercial Services G-Cloud 14 Framework. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 4pm. The contract is not divided into lots. The awarded supplier is XLedger United Kingdom. The procurement was assessed through the framework call-off route; the published information does not set out separate evaluation weightings or criteria.

This award confirms demand from the Calico Group for a dedicated accounting and finance software system delivered through the G-Cloud framework route. The most relevant competitors would be established finance-software providers with a product capable of supporting a housing group’s accounting operations and with the organisational capacity to deliver a substantial, multi-year implementation and service. XLedger United Kingdom is recorded as a large supplier, while the opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Suppliers seeking comparable work should therefore focus on framework eligibility, strong accounting and financial-management functionality, dependable delivery at organisational scale, and the ability to support the buyer throughout the contract lifecycle.
