Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ashford Borough Council procured efinancials software and associated software services for delivery in the South East of England. The requirement falls within software packages and information systems, with the main procurement category being services. The stated purpose was to obtain an efinancials solution through a call-off contract from a government commercial framework. OneAdvanced Limited was selected as the supplier. The opportunity is therefore relevant to businesses providing financial management software, implementation, configuration, support or related information-system services for local authorities, particularly suppliers able to operate across the South East. The buyer is Ashford Borough Council, based in Ashford, England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 15 July 2026 to OneAdvanced Limited. It used a selective call-off procedure from a framework agreement. The awarded contract value is £892,949.18, inclusive of the stated contract value, and the contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2031. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 10:00. The requirement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published procurement information identifies the software and information-systems requirement but does not set out additional evaluation weightings or selection thresholds.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear reference point for suppliers targeting Ashford Borough Council’s future financial-systems requirements. Credible competitors would need demonstrable capability in efinancials or comparable local-government finance software, including implementation, configuration, integration, user support and ongoing service management. The framework call-off route is commercially important: suppliers seeking similar work should understand how the relevant government framework operates and ensure they can compete through it. The procurement was considered suitable for SMEs, so a specialist software provider or a focused implementation and support partner could be well placed, provided it can evidence reliable delivery for a council environment and manage a substantial, long-term service commitment.
