Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by West Midlands Growth Company Limited, a sub-central government public authority located in Birmingham, involved the award of a contract for a Finance Management Software Subscription. This procurement falls under the industry category of software packages and information systems. The procurement utilised a direct method below threshold without competition, and it progressed through the award stage, culminating in an active contract on 28th April 2025. The contract, valued at approximately £39,624.60 (gross), began on 1st May 2025 and will end on 30th April 2026. The software solutions, aimed at enhancing financial management, archiving, and tax operations, are set up for a regionally specified delivery within the UK, specifically benefiting the West Midlands area.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in Software as a Service (SaaS) and financial management solutions. With the procurement strategy employed, businesses that offer niche, advanced software solutions without the need for a competitive tender can find growth potential, particularly if they are well-versed in providing comprehensive, integrated finance management systems. Companies like Centurion Management Systems Limited, already an active supplier, demonstrate the suitability for SMEs capable of delivering specialised technology solutions on a regional scale.
