Summary of the contracting process

Oxford City Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of Unit4 ERP CR SaaS licenses and accompanying professional service consultancy support. This process was conducted as a mini competition through the G-Cloud 14 framework under the category of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software packages. The procurement falls into the 'goods' category, and was executed without a prior call for competition, as the contract award process was outside the scope of the directive. Located in the UKJ14 region, the awarded contract was signed on 31st December 2025, with Embridge Consulting (UK) Limited being the chosen supplier. The contract is valued at £509,940 and includes a 12-month duration with an optional extension for an additional year.

This tender provides significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in cloud-based ERP solutions and consultancy services. Companies with expertise in ERP, and those that can deliver quality consultancy alongside technological solutions, would find such tenders well-suited to their capabilities. The focus on quality, with a 75% weight assigned in the award criteria, highlights an emphasis on service excellence, which can be a differentiator for high-performing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to establish themselves or expand within public sector frameworks like G-Cloud.
