## Summary

The Kent County Council initiated a tender process titled "Enterprise Business Capabilities (EBC) Implementation Partner" aimed at modernising core system capabilities across finance, people, and procurement. The procurement method used was selective, calling off from a framework agreement. The contract period runs from September 25, 2023, to September 24, 2026, with a total contract value of £6,700,000. The tender deadline was on April 28, 2023, and the delivery address is in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender by Kent County Council provides growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those experienced in software-related services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete, given the procurement's focus on modern technologies and processes. The awarded contract with De Novo Consulting Services Limited, worth £4,700,000, offers potential for additional spend on technical delivery and change management support throughout the contract's duration.

## Notice

The purpose of the KCC EBC programme is to modernise the way the core system capabilities work and perform across finance, people, and procurement. The aim of this programme is to deliver a solution that allows KCC to take advantage of modern technologies and processes and provide a platform for the future. A Procurement process has been undertaken to select a new EBC Back Office software solution. The Council has carried out a subsequent procurement exercise (Direct Award via the G Cloud 13 Framework) to appoint a Strategic Implementation Partner to support adoption of this cloud technology. Additional information: A Direct Award process via the CCS G Cloud 13 Framework has been used to award this Contract. Please note that the value range published reflects committed spend for technical delivery, and potential spend should additional options and change management support be selected during the life of the contract.
