Summary of the contracting process

Humberside Fire & Rescue Service is procuring a cloud-hosted financial management system and associated implementation services. The requirement covers data migration, user training, technical support, maintenance and contract exit services. The system will provide an integrated platform for core financial processes, budgeting, reporting, auditability, workflow management and system administration. This is a financial systems software solution, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The buyer is Humberside Fire & Rescue Service, based in Hull. The requirement is classified primarily as goods because it centres on the supply of a software system, but suppliers will also need to deliver substantial professional and managed services around implementation, operation and transition. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The process has reached tender: Humberside Fire & Rescue Service invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure using an open procurement method. It has two stages: suppliers submit a Selection Questionnaire and a Tender response; suitability and exclusion grounds are assessed first, followed by evaluation of the Tender response. Enquiries had to be submitted by 28 August 2026 at 12:00 noon, and offers by 11 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. The award decision is due by 23 October 2026. The single lot is valued at £3,500,000 gross. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 31 March 2033, with renewal options of two 24-month periods followed by one 12-month period, allowing an extension to 31 March 2038. Evaluation is based on initial response 45%, price 30%, supplier presentation 15% and social value 10%.

This opportunity suits suppliers with a proven cloud-hosted financial management system and the capacity to deliver a full implementation rather than software licences alone. Relevant experience must include comparable financial management system deployments, data migration, configuration and user training. Bidders should be able to provide robust ongoing support and maintenance, clear service arrangements and a credible exit or transition approach. The selection process will examine economic and financial standing, technical and professional ability, exclusion grounds and compliance with the procurement requirements. Information security capability and broader technical and professional competence are also required. Suppliers should be prepared to evidence how their system supports financial controls, budgeting, reporting, auditability, workflow and administration. The evaluation gives greatest weight to the initial response, with further emphasis on price, presentation and measurable social value.
