Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council has completed the procurement process for the acquisition of SAP Concur licences and support, an initiative vital for the enhancement of the council's finance and payroll systems. This procurement, classified under the industry category of Software Package and Information Systems (CPV code 48000000), was necessitated by the lack of alternative procurement routes within the project’s timeframe. The contract was directly awarded to Concur Holdings (Netherlands) B.V., with the active procurement stage confirming the award status as of 30th September 2025. The contract, valued at £1,176,000 (including VAT), will run from 1st December 2025 to 30th November 2030, with services delivered primarily in the UKF1 region of the United Kingdom.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the software and technology industry, particularly those specialising in enterprise software solutions and support services. The five-year duration allows for stable, long-term business growth and collaboration with a large public authority. While the direct award method limited open competition, it underscores the need for agility and rapid response capabilities in suppliers, making this contract an opportunity especially well-suited for large, established enterprises with a track record of delivering high-value software services and solutions under tight deadlines and specific project requirements.

Notice Title

SAP Concur Licences and Support

Notice Description

Purchase of SAP Concur licences and support for 5 years

Procurement Information

The Council first became aware in March 2025 while it was determining the routes for procurement of a new contract to deliver its finance and payroll software that SAP Concur licences were required. However, it only became clear in July that there was no suitable alternative procurement route available to provide this integral element of the project within the project timescales. There is no time to reprocure through an open tender and no suitable framework which the Council could use for the required contract term. The Council has conducted a desktop evaluation in order to evidence that directly awarding to Concur Holdings ensures value for money
