Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) procured specialist Unit4 financial planning and analysis (FP&A) implementation consultancy. The work covers solution design, configuration, implementation, testing and integration support, alongside knowledge transfer, training and go-live support. It is intended to deploy Unit4 FP&A within AHDB’s existing Unit4 environment, supporting budgeting, forecasting, workforce planning, reporting and financial planning. This is software implementation and associated consultancy, rather than a purchase of a standalone software product. Delivery locations are listed across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Vision ERP Limited. AHDB used a call-off under the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 14 framework, specifically its Cloud Support lot, without a separate competition. The award followed the framework call-off procedure. The stated evaluation split was 60% quality and 40% price. The contract was signed on 2 October 2026 and has a value of £68,820. The lot is marked cancelled in the tender information, but the award and contract are recorded as active. The procurement also includes an option to extend for up to 12 months; no contract end date or base duration is stated.

This award demonstrates AHDB’s demand for implementation expertise in Unit4 FP&A, particularly consultancy that can work within an existing Unit4 environment and take a solution from design through configuration, testing and deployment. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical Unit4 FP&A capability across budgeting, forecasting, workforce planning, reporting and financial planning, together with integration skills and the ability to provide training, knowledge transfer and go-live support. The breadth of the services suggests a supplier able to manage both technical implementation and user adoption, rather than provide configuration alone. The buyer used a Crown Commercial Service cloud framework call-off route, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be positioned to supply through that route. Quality carried greater weight than price in the stated evaluation.
