Summary of the contracting process

The Riverside Group Limited procured a legacy, read-only version of Compleat’s eCompleat P2P system. The software is intended to remain available as an audit and archive repository after the organisation’s transition to a new strategic production solution. The requirement covers software for procurement and financial analysis and accounting, including access to historic procurement-to-payment information rather than a new live production platform. Delivery applies across the United Kingdom. The buyer is The Riverside Group Limited, a public undertaking based in Speke, Liverpool. The procurement was treated as a goods requirement, with the software package forming the central deliverable. This opportunity is therefore relevant to software providers able to preserve and provide controlled read-only access to legacy purchasing and financial records during and after a systems transition.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Compleat Software Limited. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its gross value is £84,000. The buyer used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition, under the legal basis identified as 2023/54. The requirement was handled as a single completed lot. The selected supplier is providing the legacy eCompleat P2P archive and read-only service for the contract period. The published outcome confirms an active award and an active contract. The recorded procurement category is goods, with the requirement classified as financial analysis and accounting software and procurement software. The evaluation route was therefore a non-competitive direct award rather than an open tender.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a large housing-sector organisation for continuity of access to legacy procurement-to-payment records when replacing a strategic production system. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to support a stable, read-only archive rather than deliver only a replacement operational platform. Relevant capability includes maintaining historic purchasing and accounting data, enabling reliable audit and retrieval, and preserving access throughout a systems transition. Suppliers should be able to provide software that covers both procurement records and associated financial information, with dependable operation across the United Kingdom. Experience supporting legacy-system retention, archive repositories and controlled access to historic records would be commercially relevant. The incumbent is an SME software provider, indicating that specialist providers with focused procurement and finance software capability can satisfy this type of requirement.
