UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Weaver Vale Housing Trust Limited intends to procure and implement a replacement finance system. The system is expected to support the Trust’s core finance processes and financial reporting, helping it meet current and future business needs as it transforms how it works. The requirement covers accounting, finance-system and financial-analysis software, together with the implementation needed to put the replacement system into operation. This is a technology supply and implementation requirement rather than construction or routine financial advisory work. Delivery is intended across England. The buyer is Weaver Vale Housing Trust Limited, based in Northwich, and the requirement is classified as goods because the principal purchase is a finance system and associated software.

This is a planned procurement: the Trust has announced its intention to buy but has not issued an invitation to tender. It expects to use a selective competitive flexible procedure for an above-threshold procurement. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 17 November 2026 and expects expressions of interest by 18 December 2026. It expects the award process to conclude by 28 May 2027. The planned contract period is 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2032, with renewal provisions described as 6+2+2 and a maximum possible end date of 30 June 2037. There is one planned lot, and electronic submission is allowed in English. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The requirement should suit suppliers of finance and accounting software that can provide a replacement system and deliver a structured implementation for a housing organisation. Relevant capability is likely to include configuring core finance processes, supporting financial reporting, migrating or integrating finance data and systems, and helping users adopt the replacement platform. Suppliers should be prepared to support the Trust’s current operations while allowing for future business needs and organisational change. Experience delivering finance-system implementations, accounting software deployments or financial-analysis platforms would be directly relevant. The buyer has indicated that small and medium-sized enterprises are suitable for the requirement, so specialist software providers and implementation partners may be well placed to prepare for the later competitive process. The stated requirement does not identify particular professional accreditations.
