The contract, categorized under the financial systems software package industry, involved an open procurement method aimed at delivering a cloud-hosted solution to be operational by June 2026. Located in Inverclyde, Scotland, the procurement process reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 23rd September 2025, valued at £140,000. The contract was awarded to Civica UK Limited, and this marks the finalisation of a significant upgrade to River Clyde Homes' existing finance system, Total Finance by Totalmobile Ltd.
