UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority bought external Unit 4 ERP support, comprising an ERP service desk and ERP consultancy. The requirement is a professional services engagement supporting the authority’s enterprise resource planning system and related financial operations. It is classified as financial consultancy services (CPV 66171000). Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is the West Midlands Combined Authority, a sub-central public authority based in Birmingham. The procurement was arranged as one requirement rather than separate service lots, and the work is focused on ongoing specialist support and consultancy for the authority’s ERP environment.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. West Midlands Combined Authority used a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to VISION ERP LIMITED, an SME. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 11 August 2026 to 10 August 2028. Its gross value is £168,000. The contract is active. The recorded process provides the requirement, route and outcome, but no separate award date or detailed scoring basis. The successful supplier is responsible for the Unit 4 consultancy support described above, covering ERP service desk support and ERP consultancy across England. The opportunity was not divided into multiple awarded suppliers or contract values.

This procurement shows a public authority’s need for an external supplier able to support Unit 4 ERP operations through both service-desk provision and consultancy. Suppliers considering future work of this type would need practical expertise in Unit 4 and the ability to resolve operational support issues while also advising on ERP and finance-related requirements. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate dependable service delivery across the authority’s operating area, sufficient resources for continuing support, and relevant experience of public-sector or similarly controlled ERP environments. The award to an SME indicates that this requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large systems integrator.
