Summary of the contracting process

Folkestone & Hythe District Council procured data archiving services to support implementation of its new Finance and Asset Management System. The work covered financial data from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2024 held in the council’s previous financial management system. The requirements included completing a five-year data extract, storing documents on the council’s remote desktop or server, and preparing general ledger extracts for TechnologyOne’s ETL tool to transform and load into the TechnologyOne archive ledger. This is systems and technical consultancy work (CPV 72220000), delivered for the council in Folkestone and the South East of England. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 17 April 2026 to Moore Stephens Insight Limited. The £15,300 contract runs from 30 April 2026 to 30 October 2026. It was a selective call-off from the ESPO 664-25 Consultancy Services framework, under its strategic IT lot, rather than a standalone open competition. The tender submission deadline was 15 April 2026. The award was based on the framework call-off process. The call-off contract was fully executed on 13 August 2026. Folkestone & Hythe District Council was the buying organisation, and the awarded supplier is recorded as an SME. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works.

This award indicates demand for specialist financial-system data migration and archiving capability within local government. A credible future supplier would need to extract and validate multi-year financial records from a legacy finance system, preserve associated documents in a council-controlled server or remote desktop environment, and prepare general ledger data for automated transformation and loading into an archive ledger. Experience with TechnologyOne, ETL processes, archive-ledger structures and financial data integrity would be relevant. Suppliers should also be able to manage implementation support alongside the council’s technology team and demonstrate secure handling of sensitive financial information. As the requirement was bought through a consultancy framework’s strategic IT route, relevant framework access and public-sector delivery experience would strengthen a competitor’s position when similar work is next required.
