The organisation is seeking to purchase and implement a new Group Finance System following its merger with Linc Cymru, which will become Codi in 2026. This tender falls under the services category and is governed by Welsh devolved regulations, with a legal basis established in UK legislation 2023/54. Interested parties must submit their proposals before the tender period closes on 21 January 2026.
