## Summary

Luton Council recently completed the procurement process for a Financial Management System, with the award given to Civica UK Limited. The contract pertains to the software package and information systems industry, classified under the CPV code 48000000. This direct award contract was finalised on 30 June 2026, with an active status, with the formal start of the contract scheduled on 1 November 2026, extending until 31 October 2028. The contract value stands at £1,347,825. The procurement process involved a direct award method to ensure service continuity while the council evaluates long-term solutions for its financial management systems. The procurement stage is marked as "complete", with the location of the service delivery being in England, United Kingdom.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in software solutions and financial management systems to demonstrate their expertise in a public sector setting. Though the current award was made directly, similar tenders may arise in the future, offering potential for small to medium enterprises, as well as larger firms, to compete for upcoming contracts. Businesses with skills in integrating and future-proofing information systems could develop strategic partnerships with councils looking to enhance their financial management frameworks. Leveraging such opportunities can lead to substantial growth within the public sector procurement landscape.

## Notice

In 2025, the Corporate Finance team led a service improvement programme which identified the need to review the approach to managing finance within the Authority. A recommendation was made to review the market with a view to future proofing the strategic alignment of the solutions the Council uses. Discovery and research activities are due to commence with specialist consultancy. In the meantime, Luton has a risk preventative need to be supported by the existing supplier whilst the sourcing, implementation and onboarding activities are underway. Additional information: Contract Term is 2+1+1+1
