Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kirklees Council engaged specialist ERP consultants to add capacity to its ERP Replacement Programme. The initial requirement covers programme management and business change leadership and delivery during the Prepare and Procure phase, with provision to continue into the ERP implementation stage, subject to funding. This is consultancy and programme-change support for a council replacing its enterprise resource planning system, rather than a software supply contract. The work is for Kirklees Council in Huddersfield, with delivery in Yorkshire and the Humber.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to 31ten Consulting Limited. The award was made on 25 September 2026, for £1,400,700. The planned contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 July 2029; the requirement began as an eight-month term, with an option to extend for a further 26 months, subject to funding. The initial procurement estimate was £1,500,000. Kirklees used a selective call-off from the ESPO Consultancy Services framework, under its Strategic Programmes and Projects lot. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The submission deadline was 5 August 2026 at 1pm.

This award demonstrates demand from Kirklees Council for specialist consultancy capacity to support a complex ERP replacement, particularly programme management and business change leadership and delivery across preparation, procurement and implementation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show the ability to integrate with a council programme team, lead organisational change and deliver practical change activity alongside ERP procurement and implementation. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, and it was sourced through a consultancy framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be able to meet the relevant framework route as well as demonstrate focused ERP programme and business-change expertise. The potential extension into implementation indicates value in capability that can support continuity from procurement into delivery, subject to the council’s funding.
