Summary of the contracting process

MAG AIRPORT LIMITED procured systems integration services from an implementation partner for its SAP S/4HANA transformation. The work replaces SAP ECC and migrates the group’s finance functions to the new SAP platform, supporting a wider Finance Transformation Programme and reducing the operational risk associated with SAP ECC reaching end of life. Delivery is structured across four phases: Explore, Realise, Deploy and Run. The supplier’s team is expected to work both on site and online. This is a utilities-sector requirement for specialist SAP implementation and finance transformation services, with systems and technical consultancy as the main service category. The buying organisation is MAG AIRPORT LIMITED, based in Manchester, and the requirement concerns the transformation of its group finance function rather than the supply of software alone.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Tata Consultancy Services limited on 11 September 2026. The award covers one lot and has a value of £5,496,373 excluding VAT, or £6,595,648 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with signature scheduled for 1 November 2026. The procurement used a competitive selective procedure, with the award made under a framework agreement. It was treated as a utilities procurement and was above the relevant threshold. The award was subject to a standstill period ending on 24 September 2026. The published information identifies the requirement as systems and technical consultancy services; it does not set out separate scored evaluation weightings.

For suppliers assessing future SAP transformation work with MAG AIRPORT LIMITED, this award demonstrates demand for a substantial, multi-year systems integration capability focused on SAP S/4HANA and finance. Credible competitors would need experience replacing SAP ECC, planning and delivering finance-platform migration, and supporting a transformation programme through Explore, Realise, Deploy and Run. The requirement also indicates the need to combine consultancy, implementation leadership and delivery capability rather than provide software in isolation. Suppliers should be able to provide an experienced, competent partner team that can work effectively across on-site and online delivery. Framework access and a competitive selective route were used here, so relevant public-sector or utilities procurement experience and the capacity to participate through similar arrangements would strengthen a future proposition.
