Summary of the contracting process

FORHOUSING DEVCO LIMITED is seeking a fully integrated cloud-based finance and procure-to-pay system, or a standalone cloud-based procure-to-pay solution. The requirement covers end-to-end financial operations, including general ledger, budgeting, accounts payable, accounts receivable, financial reporting, requisitioning, purchasing, goods receipting, invoicing and supplier management. This is financial and accounting software, including financial analysis, financial systems, enterprise resource planning and financial information systems. The solution will support ForHousing’s operations across the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as goods and is intended for suppliers providing business software platforms, particularly cloud finance, accounting and procure-to-pay systems that can connect these functions in one operating environment.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. It has two stages: initial bids are assessed on quality and price, with up to three bidders shortlisted for demonstrations. Enquiries were due by 14 September 2026 at 21:00, and offers were due electronically by 12 October 2026 at 12:00. The estimated value is £720,000 gross. The contract is scheduled to run from 5 November 2026 to 28 February 2030, with an option to extend for 24 months to 29 February 2032. Evaluation is weighted 65% quality, 15% price, 10% social value and 10% presentation. The award decision is due by 5 November 2026.

This opportunity suits finance and procurement software suppliers able to deliver and support a cloud-based platform covering both accounting and procure-to-pay processes, or a standalone procure-to-pay system. Strong contenders will need to demonstrate that their solution can manage core ledgers, budgets, payables, receivables, reporting, purchasing workflows, receipting, invoicing and supplier information in an end-to-end service. The two-stage process makes product demonstrations an important part of competing, alongside evidence of solution quality, price and social value. Suppliers should be prepared to present their platform clearly and show how it supports operational finance and purchasing. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist software providers as well as larger integrated-system vendors may be well placed to compete.
