UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Parliament is initiating a pre-market engagement process for a significant tender concerning an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution. The procurement, managed by the Corporate Officer of the House of Lords and the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons, is currently in the planning stage. The project aims to modernise and unify the Parliament's Finance and Procurement services into a cloud-based ERP system with future expansion capabilities across broader corporate services such as HR and Payroll. Essential dates include a pre-market engagement webinar on 12 January 2026, with expressions of interest due by 9 January 2026, followed by an in-person session on 26 January 2026. This procurement process falls under the "goods" category and is above the threshold indicating the scale and significance of the project.

This tender presents extensive opportunities for businesses specialising in ERP software and implementation services, particularly those that can supply scalable, cloud-based solutions. Businesses with a strong track record in providing and implementing comprehensive ERP systems will find this an excellent opportunity to support strategic transformations within a high-profile public authority. With a contract period spanning from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031, and options to renew, both SMEs and VCSEs are encouraged to participate, promising substantial growth potential and sector influence. The procurement process is open to various suppliers, not limited to those on the CCS Back Office Software 2 framework, enabling wider market participation and competition. Interested parties are encouraged to register and submit expressions of interest through the UK Parliament's eSourcing Portal.

Notice Title

Pre-Market Engagement for UK Parliament ERP Tender

Notice Description

UK Parliament wishes to engage prospective suppliers (both system providers and system implementers) ahead of a competitive procurement exercise for a new ERP Solution. The scope of this procurement has three key parts: 1. Procure a modern, cloud based ERP solution to support our Finance & Procurement services; 2. Procure the services required to implement this solution for Finance & Procurement, and; 3. Procure optionality in our contract to expand this solution across wider corporate services later in the contract term (e.g. HR, Payroll, Portfolio, Commercial). At this stage the Authority is seeking to procure these together and are keen to ensure that the procured solution is a market leader in delivering the full range of ERP functionality for Parliament. We are not looking to procure services to implement across HR & Payroll as part of this procurement however, they would be subject to a seperate procurement at the point we wished to take the licence options for those modules. We are exploring whether functionality to support our Portfolio & Commercial services will form part of our initial implementation, or our longer term roadmap. The full breakdown of the scope will be shared through the market engagement and finalised for our ITT. To express an interest in this pre-market engagement exercise: 1. Register and login to the Authority's eSourcing Portal (https://atamis-ukparliament.my.site.com/s/Welcome). 2. Find the notice titled "Pre-Market Engagement for UK Parliament ERP Tender" and click on "Register Interest". 3. Once you have done this, please log in and navigate to "My Proposals". From there you will be able to access the area that has been set up for expressions of interest to be submitted to the Authority.

Planning Information

The Authority's current intention is to compete this tender via the CCS Back Office Software 2 framework (RM6285), however this has not yet been finalised. As such, this engagement is open to all prospective suppliers, not just those on RM6285. The outputs of this engagement will inform the Commercial Strategy. This pre-market engagement exercise shall be conducted in three stages: - Stage 1 - The Authority will hold a webinar for prospective Bidders on 12 January 2026 in order to share an overview of Parliament, the required service, and an explanation of the remaining stages of the pre-market engagement exercise. Prospective suppliers must express their interest in this webinar, and the remaining stages of the engagement no later than 12:00 (GMT) on 9th January 2026. Expressions of Interest received after this deadline may not be considered for the remaining stages. Expressions of Interest must only be made via the Authority's eSourcing Portal (see instructions in the description of this notice). - Stage 2 - Prospective suppliers that expressed an interest before the abovementioned deadline will be invited to attend an in-person engagement session on 26th January 2026. This session will consist of a more detailed presentation from the Authority on the requirements, as well as the opportunity for group discussions and feedback. Stage 3 - A post-event questionnaire will be issued to prospective suppliers seeking further detailed feedback on the Authority's procurement approach and route to market. Involvement in this engagement will not impact prospective supplier's future involvement in the tender exercise. Further stages of engagement may be conducted, with a further event or workshop in February 2026 if the necessary outputs have not been obtained from the initial 3 stages.
