Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire County Council has completed the procurement process for an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Implementation and SAP Replacement. This award, concerning services categorised under industry-specific software development, was conducted via a direct award under Lot 3 of the Crown Commercial Services G-Cloud 14 framework agreement. The project, located in the UKK1 region, entails providing a modern business platform for payroll, finance, HR, and procurement functions. The contract, valued at £2,540,000 and awarded to HCL Technologies UK Limited, was signed on 18th December 2025. The procurement method employed was limited, bypassing the need for a call for competition under Regulation 33 (Framework Agreements) due to prior competition when the framework was established.

This procurement represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in enterprise software solutions. Large enterprises with capability in supplying ERP solutions, particularly those that are part of established framework agreements like G-Cloud, are well-positioned to compete and secure similar contracts. Such projects are instrumental in driving efficiency and operational improvements for public sector bodies, making them attractive opportunities for established software service providers looking to expand their footprint in the public sector market.
