Summary of the contracting process

The Argyll and Bute Council is procuring Oracle Fusion Licences as part of a tender process initiated to upgrade its current financial software system. This procurement falls under the industry category of software and information systems (CPV code: 48000000). The procurement method employed is a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, indicating an absence of competing suppliers for this specific requirement. The contract's total value is approximately £550,000, with the award date set for February 15, 2021, and a delivery location specified at Argyll and Bute Council. The contract provides for a five-year term commencing from April 1, 2022, with options for additional licenses and an extension of up to five additional years if required.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in cloud-based software solutions, particularly those with expertise in Oracle products. As the incumbent supplier, Oracle Corporation UK Ltd. has a strong presence, thus new entrants must demonstrate competitive pricing and innovative service solutions to engage effectively. Companies experienced in ERP systems, cloud services, and software implementation would be particularly well-suited to explore such tenders, given the Council's critical need for a robust software upgrade following nearly three decades of reliance on the existing Oracle platform.
