Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process, initiated by Cell Therapy Catapult Limited, sought the provision of a marketing platform to replace functionalities formerly supported by Microsoft Dynamics. The organisation, based in London, undertook an open procedure to procure software and information systems that integrate seamlessly with its new ERP system. The project was categorised under services within the United Kingdom's market, with a contract period spanning from September 2026 to September 2028 and options for further extensions. The tender process was completed with an award valued at £221,800 to HUBSPOT UK HOLDINGS LIMITED, focused on services catering to sales and marketing software and was classified under public authority - sub-central government.

This tender opens significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in marketing software and technology integration. Businesses excelling in scalable, modern marketing platforms that blend seamlessly with existing ERP systems, providing automation, AI capabilities, and comprehensive reporting will find themselves well-suited to this contract opportunity. The emphasis on maintaining quality data with no downtime during transition highlights opportunities for those offering robust and intuitive systems, particularly those compliant with current regulatory frameworks. Given the scale and requirements of the tender, both SMEs and larger enterprises with the requisite capability and proven expertise in software services and ERP integration stand to benefit substantially.

Notice Title

PROVISION OF A MARKETING PLATFORM

Notice Description

The CGT Catapult Marketing and Communications function currently uses Microsoft Dynamics as its Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system for a variety of marketing activities and processes via a marketing plugin - Click (formerly ClickDimensions). The CGT Catapult is currently implementing a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system called Industrial and Financial Systems (IFS). As part of the deployment and transfer to this new platform, Microsoft Dynamics will be decommissioned before the end of 2026, as IFS has its own CRM functionality. However, this functionality is limited in terms of marketing capabilities, and there is currently no replacement that enables CGT Catapult's digital marketing activities. To ensure continuity of our external engagement and lead generation activities, we must identify and implement a new marketing platform that effectively integrates with the new IFS CRM offering.
