The total contract value is £1,165,497.49, and the contract period is set to run from 1st October 2021 to 30th September 2025. This procurement was completed as of 30th September 2021, under the selective procurement method, which involved call-off from a framework agreement. The delivery address for this contract is located in Southend-on-Sea (postcode SS2 6ER).

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in cloud software and ERP solutions. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this particular tender advantageous, given the council's stated suitability criteria that favour smaller suppliers. Companies that provide investment management, tax preparation, financial analysis, and human resources software are particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract, potentially leading to sustained business growth through ongoing collaboration with the council.
