Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured an implementation partner for SAP SuccessFactors, covering IT consultancy and related software implementation support. The requirement is to help implement SAP SuccessFactors rather than to supply general-purpose hardware or standalone software. Delivery is across England. The council is the buying organisation and the service falls within the wider category of IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support. This is a council-wide public-sector technology implementation requirement, so relevant suppliers are those able to provide professional implementation services around SAP SuccessFactors and support the buyer through delivery. The procurement was structured as a call-off from the GCA Back Office Software 2 framework, Lot 2, using an expression of interest and further competition route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Derbyshire County Council selected VE3 Global Ltd on 22 June 2026. The awarded value is £1,413,100. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 30 November 2027. The original estimated procurement value was between £1,500,000 and £1,800,000, and the tender submission deadline was 26 March 2026 at 1pm. This was a call-off contract through GCA Back Office Software 2, Lot 2, using an expression of interest followed by further competition. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was awarded as a services contract for the SAP SuccessFactors implementation requirement, with the award recorded as active.

This award confirms demand from Derbyshire County Council for a substantial SAP SuccessFactors implementation partner, delivered through a public-sector framework and further competition. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable SAP SuccessFactors implementation capability, including consultancy, configuration, software delivery, integration and implementation support. Experience of managing complex public-sector technology programmes would help, particularly where the supplier must work with a council, understand public-sector governance and deliver a structured transition into operational use. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist implementation firms may be well placed if they can evidence the required technical depth, delivery capacity and relevant customer outcomes. Suppliers should also be able to operate through the relevant framework route and respond effectively to an expression of interest and subsequent competition.
