UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Thurrock Council procured a subscription to a finance intelligence toolkit to support its financial planning and budget setting for 2026/27. The requirement is a financial and insurance service, specifically a software or information toolkit subscription rather than physical goods or construction works. Delivery relates to Thurrock Council in Grays, with the procurement recorded for the United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement covered one complete service package. The service is relevant to suppliers providing financial intelligence, local government financial planning tools, budget-setting support or related subscription-based services. It may also suit providers able to supply authoritative financial data and analysis in a format that supports council officers in preparing and reviewing budgets.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. LG FUTURES LIMITED was selected as the supplier on 11 August 2026. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 11 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £27,774.98 excluding VAT, or £33,330.98 including VAT. Thurrock Council evaluated and awarded the requirement as a financial and insurance service. The procurement used a single lot, which was completed as part of the award. The contract is recorded as active and covers the Financial Intelligence Toolkit Subscription 26/27. This outcome shows a short-term, below-threshold council purchase made without a competitive tender.

This procurement is commercially relevant to suppliers serving local authorities with financial intelligence products and budget-planning support. A credible competitor would need a finance toolkit that directly helps council teams with budget setting and financial planning, together with reliable content, practical analysis and a subscription model suitable for public-sector use. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist provider rather than only by a large corporate technology or consultancy business. Suppliers should be able to explain how their product supports local-government financial decisions, demonstrate dependable service delivery and provide a clear route for council users to access the toolkit and its analysis. Experience with public-sector finance would strengthen their position when a comparable requirement returns to market.
