UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire is initiating a procurement process for an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System, aimed at enhancing their operational capabilities with state-of-the-art software solutions. This process is currently at the planning stage and involves a Request for Information (RFI) to engage the market ahead of launching a formal tender. Interested parties should take note of the key date: responses to the RFI are due by 16th January 2026. The procurement's primary focus is on goods in the technology sector, particularly enterprise resource planning software, with the intent to begin the contract by the end of October 2026 and to run until the end of October 2031. This opportunity is specifically targeted towards suppliers who can deliver innovative ERP solutions suitable for public authority requirements in the United Kingdom, with a wide-ranging impact anticipated across sub-central government operations.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in ERP systems to establish or strengthen their presence within the public sector, particularly those familiar with the needs of public authorities like sub-central government entities. Companies providing innovative and adaptable ERP solutions are likely to find this contract particularly lucrative, given the scale and duration of the proposed engagement. Businesses with expertise in servicing public sector clients, those capable of complying with UK public procurement regulations, and those offering comprehensive support and integration services will be well-positioned to compete effectively for this opportunity. Participation in the RFI phase will enable suppliers to influence the final tender specifications, aligning their offerings closely with the buyer’s needs and increasing their chances of success in subsequent procurement stages.
