Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeen City Council procured renewal of its existing finance system to maintain continuity of service and support. The requirement covers finance and accounting software and related system services. Delivery is in Aberdeen.

The procurement is complete. Aberdeen City Council made a direct award to OneAdvanced Limited through a limited procedure without a prior competition, relying on technical reasons: the Council said only the incumbent supplier could renew the current finance system. One bid was recorded, and price was the stated award criterion. The contract is active and was signed on 21 August 2026, at a value of £2,022,450. The award date and contract period are not stated in the available process information.

This award indicates demand for continued support and renewal of Aberdeen City Council’s existing finance system. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to sustain service continuity and support for the Council’s current finance platform, and to deliver its renewal. The buyer’s stated technical rationale favoured the incumbent, so a supplier would need to address how its proposed approach could meet the continuity requirement and overcome the technical constraints associated with the existing system.
