## Summary

The Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council is undertaking a tender process titled "SOL - Oracle On-Premise Licensing and Support," aimed at renewing licensing and support for the Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle Database. This procurement falls under the IT services industry and is located in the UK, specifically within the Solihull region (UKG32). Currently in the award stage, the procurement method employed is "limited," conducted through a negotiated procedure without prior publication due to the exclusive nature of the required services. The contract has a value of £1,000,000 and was signed on 10th March 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those involved in software development and support. Companies that can deliver Oracle solutions or similar services, as well as those with expertise in transitioning clients to cloud-based platforms, would be well-positioned to compete. As the council transitions to Oracle Cloud, businesses capable of providing seamless integration and support during this changeover will find ample opportunities to engage in further contracts with the council.
