Summary of the contracting process

The most recent public procurement process involves a direct award from ORE Catapult, a public undertaking based in Glasgow, UK. The contract, titled "Finance System Upgrade 2026," focuses on the services industry, particularly computer upgrade services. This award appoints Datel Computing Limited to perform essential upgrades to Sage Intaact and Fusion systems.

Procurement Information

To competitively tender would not be suitable on technical grounds. The organisation has invested in the infrastructure of the Sage Systems, building a system fit for purpose and to provide a bespoke financial system for employees and stakeholders to utilise. Although other financial systems are available, there is no other provider that can offer the specific requirements required with the compatibility to our existing software. This is not a viable option
