Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Public Sector Partnership Services Ltd has awarded a contract to Embridge Consulting (UK) Ltd for the migration from a hosted solution to a cloud-based ERP system provided by Unit4. This procurement falls under the "Software maintenance and repair services" industry category with a specific focus on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, and is located in the UKF3 region. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract officially awarded on 11th October 2024. The contract spans a period of 7 years and includes functionalities for HR and Payroll provision. Due to the urgency imposed by Unit4's mandated timeline, a direct award procurement method was employed, bypassing the traditional tender process. The contract value is approximately £2,056,927.50.

This contract provides substantial opportunities for businesses within the ERP software and cloud migration sectors. Companies specialising in software maintenance, SaaS solutions, HR and Payroll systems, or enterprise resource management could find growth opportunities through such contracts. The procurement approach, which involves a direct award to an existing provider, underscores the benefit for businesses to establish and maintain strong relationships with public sector entities. SMEs with niche expertise in ERP solutions or cloud migration services would be well-suited to compete for similar direct awards in this rapidly evolving technology landscape.

Lot Information

Lot 1

To undertake Cloud Migration from current on-premise solution to Unit4 Cloud and then subsequently enter into a 7-year contract, utilising their ERP system.

Procurement Information

We are undertaking a direct award via Embridge, as they are our current system provider. Unit4 have mandated that clients move from hosted solutions to their cloud-based solution. With this in mind, we have negotiated a 7-year contract for Unit4 ERP. This includes the facility for a HR & Payroll provision. With the timings provided to us by Unit 4, we have not had sufficient time to procure this via a tender process and there would be a substantial cost increase entering into this agreement via the G Cloud.
