Summary of the contracting process

Wilton Park procured accounting software supply and support, including the hosting environment. The requirement covers Sage 200, RDF, Duo and an Azure server, with spending considered cumulatively across the service. This is an information technology services requirement involving software provision, technical support, hosting and related internet or infrastructure services. The buyer is Wilton Park, a central government public authority based at Wiston House in Steyning, West Sussex. The work supports the organisation’s accounting operations and requires the supplier to provide both the software environment and ongoing support. The requirement was treated as a single completed lot and was delivered for Wilton Park’s own operational needs.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Wilton Park used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. Thinc was selected as supplier for the accounting software supply and support requirement. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £13,186.42 excluding VAT, or £15,823.70 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement used one completed lot. The published outcome identifies information technology services as the category, covering consulting, software development, internet and support services. No competitive evaluation basis is stated.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Wilton Park for specialist accounting software support tied to a live Sage 200 environment and its associated hosting and security infrastructure. A credible future competitor would need to support Sage 200, work across RDF and Duo, and manage or integrate with an Azure server environment. The requirement suits an established IT services provider able to combine software support with hosting, infrastructure and user-facing technical assistance rather than supplying software alone. Thinc was identified as an SME supplier, indicating that a smaller specialist business can deliver this type of public-sector requirement. Experience supporting financial systems and maintaining dependable hosted services would strengthen a competitor’s position when the requirement returns.
