## Summary

Social Work England procured an ERP financial management service to support its finance, procurement, payroll, human resources and workforce management functions. The requirement covers Unit4 ERP and Extension Kit software licences, associated support and maintenance, secure cloud hosting, and connector services. The system supports supplier payments, procurement processes, financial reporting and integrations, helping maintain continuity of business-critical operations. This is a business software and managed support service, classified under CPV 48440000 for financial analysis and accounting software packages. The buying organisation is Social Work England, based in Sheffield, and the service is delivered for its operations there. The procurement is categorised as services and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework. Embridge Consulting (UK) Ltd was selected as the supplier, with an award made on 11 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £372,528 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 12 September 2026 to 11 September 2029. The requirement was evaluated within the framework call-off process for the provision of Unit4 ERP and Extension Kit licences and related services. It covers a single requirement rather than separately described lots. The original tender submission deadline was 10 August 2026 at 17:00. The procurement has completed, with the award recorded as active.

This procurement indicates demand from a public-sector regulator for an integrated finance and enterprise resource planning platform, combining core financial management with procurement, payroll, HR and workforce functions. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in Unit4 ERP and Extension Kit, including licence provision, configuration or integration, software support and maintenance. Secure cloud hosting experience is important, as are connector services that link the ERP platform with other business systems and preserve reliable data flows. Suppliers should be able to support business-critical operations, supplier payments, reporting and procurement processes over a sustained service relationship. The buyer’s use of a framework call-off also makes relevant framework access and experience of delivering public-sector software services important. The recorded suitability for SMEs indicates that smaller specialist providers may be well placed, particularly where they can evidence robust delivery and support capacity.
