Summary of the contracting process

The National Audit Office (NAO) has extended its contract for the supply of FinancialForce services, recently rebranded as Certinia, for an additional 12 months until 30th January 2026. This extension follows the initial 2-year contract that started on 31st January 2022 and was scheduled to end on 30th January 2024. The procurement process falls under the 'services' category, specifically accounting software packages, and was undertaken using a selective procurement method via a framework agreement. The contract was awarded in January 2022, with key parties located in London (SW1W 9SP) and Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in accounting software services, particularly for SMEs, as the procurement was explicitly marked as suitable for them. The extended contract, valued at approximately £123.6 million GBP, presents substantial business growth potential for companies capable of supplying integrated and scalable financial management solutions. By collaborating with a high-profile entity like the NAO, providers can enhance their market credibility and visibility, making it an appealing prospect for qualified businesses looking to expand their government sector clientele.
