Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Ambulance Service bought a finance enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and associated services, classified as financial analysis and accounting software. The requirement is for a finance system for the ambulance service, with delivery associated with Brierley Hill, West Midlands. The service is the buyer and the requirement is categorised as services. The awarded supplier, ELFS Shared Services, is based in Darwen, Lancashire.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ELFS Shared Services on 8 October 2026. The award value is £645,985. The contract is due to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032. The buyer used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The stated procurement estimate matches the awarded value. The requirement was treated as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lots or evaluation criteria are recorded in the published procurement data.

This award confirms demand at West Midlands Ambulance Service for a finance ERP system with associated services, delivered over a substantial, multi-year contract. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply and support an enterprise finance platform and demonstrate the capability to deliver the related services for an ambulance service organisation. The successful supplier, ELFS Shared Services, was selected through a framework call-off, so experience of operating within relevant frameworks and meeting their requirements would be commercially pertinent. The buyer marked the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that suppliers should be prepared to meet the scale and delivery demands of an enterprise-level engagement.
