The procurement process led by TEC Partnership, a public authority in Grimsby, United Kingdom, has reached the award stage as of 17th June 2026. The contract, titled "Finance Software," falls under the industry category of goods, specifically financial systems software. This tender involved the direct award procurement method, chosen due to technical reasons and urgency, to One Advanced Ltd for a cloud-based finance and procurement software with seamless integration into existing systems. The contract, valued at £229,000, will run from 17th June 2026 to 17th June 2031.

Notice Title

Finance Software

Notice Description

Cloud based Finance & Procurement software with integration with existing systems

Procurement Information

We currently use ProSolutions, Smart Assessor and iTrent, all of which Advanced can provide direct APIs for with little cost and on a short timeframe. We had demos of several financial systems all of which provided similar experiences but Advanced stood out and had a complete package, as well as reducing integration and implementation cost, and time which is beneficial because our current software is coming to end of life which requires a quicker turn around.
