Summary of the contracting process

Sport England is procuring continued access to and support for its NetSuite financial system. The requirement covers the environments and licences needed to manage financial controls, financial data and annual accounts, including recording and processing payments to external organisations. It also supports staff activities such as raising and receipting purchase orders, raising sales order requests and submitting expense claims. This is a financial systems and software licensing service, classified under corporate finance and venture capital services (CPV 66122000). The buying organisation is Sport England, based at Loughborough Sport Park in Loughborough. The service supports Sport England’s internal finance team and staff who use NetSuite for operational and reporting activities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award for renewal of services. There is one completed lot. Oracle Corporation UK Limited was selected as supplier. The award value is £250,588 excluding VAT and £300,705.60 including VAT. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 6 August 2027. The procurement is above the relevant threshold. The stated rationale is renewal of services, with the procedure classified as an additional repeat, extension, partial replacement or replacement. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The award is recorded as pending, with signature scheduled for 26 August 2026.

This opportunity indicates established demand from Sport England for specialist NetSuite provision supporting core finance operations. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need to provide NetSuite environments and licences, understand financial controls and account preparation, and support the handling of organisational payments and financial data. Relevant capability includes enabling finance staff to raise and receipt purchase orders, initiate sales orders and submit expense claims. Credible providers would also need the scale and technical knowledge to maintain dependable access to a business-critical finance system, since loss of access would affect reporting and payment processing. Experience delivering comparable NetSuite licensing or managed finance-system services would therefore be important when competing for this buyer’s requirement.

Notice Title

SE1271 Netsuite

Notice Description

Netsuite is the financial system used by Sport England for managing financial controls and preparation of the annual accounts, including the management of all payments made by the organisation. The finance team requires the Environments and licences to work in and manage NetSuite and its financial data. Staff also require it to access the modules to allow them to raise and receipt purchase orders, raise sales order requests, and submit expense claims. Without access to Netsuite, the financial data required for internal and external reporting will not be available and payments to external organisations could not be recorded or processed.
