Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Leeds Beckett University has recently awarded a contract for the "Migration of Financial System to Cloud" project. This procurement process, which falls under the goods category, involved the migration of a financial services system from on-premise infrastructure to a vendor-managed cloud solution. The award was given to Unit4 Business Software Limited, and the contract value amounts to £561,000. The procurement method employed was a limited bidding process without prior publication. The contract was signed on 20th June 2024, with the main delivery location being in Leeds, United Kingdom.

This contract presents growth opportunities for businesses specializing in software packages and information systems. Companies offering cloud migration services, particularly those with expertise in financial systems, would be well-suited to compete for similar tenders. Given the nature of the project and the mandatory requirements for vendor expertise, businesses with a track record in successful cloud migrations and experience meeting the specific needs of educational institutions, like Leeds Beckett University, would be in a favorable position to bid for such contracts.

Notice Title

Migration of Financial System to Cloud

Notice Description

This notice covers the migration of a financial services system from on premise infrastructure to a vendor managed cloud solution

Lot Information

Lot 1

This procurement covers the migration of an on-premise finance system to a vendor managed cloud solution

Procurement Information

This notice covers the migration of an existing system to a vendor managed cloud. It would be impossible, on technical grounds, for a different operator to effect this migration. Furthermore, the internal resource required to move to a different system ahead of a migration to a cloud solution means that fair competition would not be possible without a high level of risk to the ongoing operation of the university.
