Summary of the contracting process

In the latest procurement process carried out by Warwickshire County Council, the Council is re-procuring several subscriptions, including the Unit4 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, Unit4 Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), and Success4U customer success services, supplemented by HeyCentric. This procurement falls under the industry category of software packages and information systems, with a direct award method opted due to the ongoing Local Government Reorganisation. The contract, valued at £2,107,350.01, was signed on 2nd February 2026, and runs from 31st March 2026 to 30th March 2031, covering the region of the UK. The award process is completed, bolstered by rationale stemming from time constraints related to local government restructuring.

This tender presents significant avenues for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in software systems and public sector solutions. UNIT4 BUSINESS SOFTWARE LIMITED, a small to medium enterprise based in London, has been directly awarded the contract, showcasing the Council's willingness to collaborate with SMEs that can supply state-of-the-art ERP systems. This procurement can appeal to businesses offering similar software services or those looking to expand their footprint in the public sector by partnering with local government entities undergoing organisational changes. The strategic alignment between technology providers and public bodies opens further possibilities for sustained business development and innovation in software solutions tailored for government applications.

Notice Title

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System

Notice Description

The Council is re-procuring the following subscriptions: Unit4 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Unit4 Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), and Success4U customer success services. The package also includes HeyCentric.

Procurement Information

The Council is re-procuring the following subscriptions: Unit4 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Unit4 Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), and Success4U customer success services. The package also includes HeyCentric. The Council is unable to conduct a competitive procurement exercise for this requirement at this time due its involvement in the ongoing Local Government Reorganisation process. The additional time is required to properly scope out the requirement for the replacement Authority or Authorities. This cannot be completed prior to any decision on the structure of Local Government in Warwickshire and therefore a direct award is required to cover the transition period and allow the new Authority or Authorities to conduct the appropriate procurement exercise.
