UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council is planning a technology services project to decommission the former Northampton Borough Council Agresso installation and migrate its data to another platform. The work is classified as systems support services and is expected to take place in connection with the council’s business systems and data. The requirement is for a supplier able to manage the retirement of an existing enterprise resource planning installation and the controlled transfer of its information into a replacement platform. This will suit providers of business systems support, software decommissioning, data migration and related transition services, particularly those familiar with Agresso or comparable financial and corporate systems.

The procurement is at the planning stage: the council has announced its intention to procure but has not invited tenders. It is arranging preliminary market engagement, with a response document to be completed through its In-Tend portal by 29 September 2026. The planned contract period is from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031. The procurement is currently structured as one lot and is expected to cover services. The source sets out no expected procurement method, evaluation criteria or contract value. Businesses should therefore treat the engagement as an opportunity to help shape the requirement rather than as a tender submission process.

This requirement is likely to suit established IT service providers and specialist migration consultancies with experience of retiring legacy enterprise systems, extracting and transforming business data, and transferring it securely into a replacement platform. Relevant capability includes planning a decommissioning programme, managing dependencies and data integrity, supporting testing and reconciliation, and providing a controlled transition from the former Agresso environment. Suppliers with practical knowledge of Agresso, financial-management platforms or similar council-wide systems will be well placed to understand the operational risks. The project is still being shaped, so capable businesses can prepare their technical approach and use the planned market engagement to explain delivery models, migration controls and transition support.
