UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Riverside Group Limited is procuring software-related consulting, professional and hosting services for its legacy, read-only SunSystems and QA financial accounting systems. The requirement covers maintaining and supporting access to these established accounting environments rather than introducing a new finance platform. The buyer is a public undertaking based in Speke, Liverpool, and the services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The work is relevant to suppliers that understand SunSystems, legacy financial systems and associated quality-assurance or archive environments, and that can combine technical consultancy with professional services and hosting. It may suit organisations providing specialist support for older accounting platforms where continuity, controlled access and reliable hosting are important.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a single lot. Riverside used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award is active and was made to NTT DATA Business Solutions Limited. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026, runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028, and has a gross value of £126,855.89. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement covering software-related services. The selected supplier is a large organisation, and the contract remains active. This outcome shows that the buyer chose a specialist provider through a below-threshold, non-competitive route rather than inviting competing tenders. The requirement relates specifically to one completed lot and one awarded supplier.

This procurement indicates a defined requirement for specialist support around legacy SunSystems and QA financial accounting systems, including consulting, professional services and hosting. A credible future competitor would need practical experience of supporting older, read-only finance environments and preserving dependable access to accounting information without disrupting established systems. Relevant capability would include technical consultancy, professional delivery and secure, reliable hosting for software-related services. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that they can manage a focused legacy-system requirement for a substantial housing-sector organisation, work within a controlled archive or quality-assurance context, and provide continuity across the full service rather than only one isolated technical activity. The incumbent’s selection also indicates value in broad, integrated capability.
