Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council procured an externally hosted, cloud-based financial accounting solution for NY Highways Teckal Company. The requirement covers implementation, software licensing, maintenance and support, with functionality for financial accounting and the capability to support future rollout to other wholly owned companies and external clients. This is a financial systems software service, classified under CPV 48442000, rather than a works or goods contract. Delivery is in Yorkshire and the Humber. The buyer is The North Yorkshire Council, based in Northallerton. The requirement is relevant to suppliers of hosted financial management platforms, particularly those able to provide implementation and ongoing technical support alongside the software licence.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award. The contract was awarded to Boxxe Limited on 10 September 2026 for £433,889. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029. The tender submission deadline was 14 September 2026 at 12:00. The buyer selected one supplier for the complete requirement, covering the hosted solution, implementation, licensing, maintenance and support. The procurement is recorded as a services contract and the tender is complete. The award is active, with Boxxe Limited named as the successful supplier. The commercial route was a direct award rather than an open competitive tender, so the outcome reflects a single-source procurement decision.

This award demonstrates demand from North Yorkshire Council for a substantial hosted financial accounting capability supporting a council-owned company and potential wider client use. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this type would need a mature cloud financial platform, with dependable implementation, software licensing, maintenance and user support delivered as one service. Credibility would also depend on showing that the system can handle organisational growth and be rolled out across additional wholly owned companies or external clients without losing control, consistency or support quality. The stated suitability indicates that the opportunity was not aimed at SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so larger suppliers with the capacity to manage a multi-organisation deployment and sustained service delivery would be better placed.
