Summary of the contracting process

Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council procured implementation and integration of a cloud-based finance and purchase-to-pay system. The solution is intended to support core finance functions and the end-to-end purchasing process. This is software implementation and integration work, rather than a purchase of standalone software alone. Delivery is in Stockport, in Greater Manchester. The requirement covers a single package of work for the council, combining finance and purchasing in one modern cloud solution. The selected provider is Technology One UK Ltd.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Technology One UK Ltd was selected through a limited award procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, using the Government Commercial Agency’s G-Cloud 14 framework as part of the process. The recorded rationale also refers to a complaint under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026, with a stated value of £907,407. Its term runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with one optional 12-month extension to 30 September 2030. The procurement covered one lot, which is marked cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active. Price was the stated award criterion, and one bid was recorded.

This award shows that Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council buys integrated cloud finance and purchase-to-pay capability as a single requirement, with implementation and integration central to delivery. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to demonstrate that it can configure and integrate a modern cloud-based finance platform with end-to-end purchasing processes, while supporting the council’s core financial operations. The award was made through the G-Cloud 14 framework, so suppliers seeking similar public sector work should be positioned to supply through an appropriate framework route. Price was the stated evaluation basis, making competitive pricing commercially important alongside evidence of delivery capability. The selected supplier was a large company; the recorded single-bid outcome also indicates the importance of visibility and readiness to respond through the relevant procurement route. No specific technical accreditations or capacity thresholds are described.
