UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Riverside Group Limited is procuring Salesforce consultancy services to provide expert advice on its Salesforce roadmap, the sequencing of work and achieving best value. The requirement is for specialist software programming and consultancy services, covering advice rather than a defined software development implementation. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The buyer is a public undertaking based in Speke, Liverpool, and the requirement relates to its organisational use of Salesforce. This opportunity is relevant to businesses that advise organisations on Salesforce strategy, prioritisation and value, including consultancies able to assess an existing Salesforce estate and recommend a practical order for future activity. It is not described as a general software supply contract or a construction, facilities or physical works requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Riverside Group Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for a single lot. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and runs from 14 August 2026 to 13 August 2027. The awarded supplier is SALESFORCE UK LIMITED. The contract value is £35,956.80 including VAT, and it is below threshold. The contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the buyer’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so the published information does not set out competing bids, scored criteria or a price-versus-quality assessment. The award covers the United Kingdom-wide Salesforce consultancy requirement.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for Salesforce expertise within The Riverside Group Limited: strategic advice on the product roadmap, sequencing decisions and best value. A credible future competitor would need consultants who can understand a buyer’s existing Salesforce environment, translate organisational priorities into a sequenced roadmap and explain the value and trade-offs of recommended work. The requirement suits Salesforce consultancies and specialist advisory firms rather than suppliers focused only on generic software licensing, routine support or unrelated technology delivery. Experience producing clear strategic recommendations for a public undertaking or similarly complex organisation would strengthen a supplier’s position. The buyer’s use of a direct, below-threshold route also shows that suppliers should be able to present a focused, proportionate consultancy offer for a defined advisory requirement.
