## Summary

The Cheshire East Borough Council has awarded a contract for Oracle E-business Suite (EBS) and database technical support services. This procurement falls under the software package and information systems category and is located in the North West region of England. The contract, valued at £534,000, is a direct award following a negotiated procedure due to necessity, with the contract period starting from 1 April 2019 and concluding on 31 March 2020. The awarding took place on 29 March 2019, with the opportunity having been officially published on 23 April 2019.

This contract presents a significant growth opportunity, particularly for companies specialising in software support and maintenance, especially those with qualifications in Oracle systems given the specific requirements of the Cheshire East Borough Council. Businesses offering technical support services related to enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems would find themselves well-positioned to compete in this market, although the lack of alternative suppliers due to intellectual property restrictions means that only Oracle Corporation UK Limited was able to secure this contract.

## Notice

****************************THIS IS AN AWARDED OPPORTUNITY ********************************************************************** In 2016 Cheshire East and Cheshire West Borough Councils (the Councils) undertook competitive dialogue procedure to procure a replacement for it's Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, a delay in the go-live date of the replacement ERP system requires the Council to continue to use their Oracle ERP system for a further 12 months to enable financial year end and audit activities to be undertaken. The Councils therefore require ongoing support and maintenance services from Oracle for a further 12 months. Due to ownership of intellectual property rights of the Oracle ERP system the support and maintenance services are not available from any other economic operators. Consequently regulation 32(2)(b) the negotiated procedure without prior publication applies and may be used to enable the procurement of the support and maintenance services from Oracle.
