Summary of the contracting process

The National Lottery Community Fund has concluded a procurement process for the "Finance System Replacement" under the industry category of Software Support Services. The contract, valued at £148,693.88, was signed with Xledger Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Bristol, UK. The tender was initiated under a limited procurement method, specifically a call-off contract via the Crown Commercial Service's G-Cloud 14 Framework, and involved awarding the contract without a prior publication of a call for competition, as the procurement fell outside the scope of the directive. The awarded contract was activated on 24th March 2026, and the procurement stage is marked as complete.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in cloud-based finance management software, particularly those accustomed to providing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) packages. Given the specific requirements outlined and the nature of the procurement method, companies with experience in government contracts and those skilled in the provision of scalable financial management solutions will find this tender applicable to their sphere. Businesses that are part of frameworks such as the Crown Commercial Service will have competitive advantages in similar future opportunities.
