## Summary

Luton Council has recently concluded the "AT1902 - Payments Management" procurement process, focusing on enhancing finance management and payment services through potential Enterprise Resource Planning software. This direct award contract was granted to Civica UK Ltd, within the software package and information systems category, identified by CPV code 48000000. The procurement covers services in England, United Kingdom, commencing on 1st November 2026 and concluding on 31st October 2028, with a total contract value of £1,442,749. As of the award stage dated 30th June 2026, Luton Council is seeking risk prevention support during the discovery, sourcing, and possible implementation phases.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in software and information systems, to engage in supporting Luton Council's strategic alignment efforts. While Civica UK Ltd has secured the contract, enterprises with the capacity to offer specialised services in Enterprise Resource Planning can explore potential collaboration and sub-contracting arrangements. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are especially well-suited to compete in this arena, given their ability to deliver agile and innovative solutions that align with Luton Council's service improvement programme objectives.

## Notice

In 2025, the Corporate Finance team launched a service improvement programme that recommended reviewing finance management, payments and HR services, and market options to ensure strategic alignment. One concept is to consider Enterprise Resource Planning software. Discovery and research will commence once specialist resource has been engaged. Meanwhile, Luton requires risk prevention support from the current supplier during discovery, sourcing and potentially, the implementation of change. Additional information: 2+1+1+1
