## Summary

The British Council has completed a procurement process for a cloud-based Financial Planning and Analysis solution aimed at enhancing business capabilities through improved workflow, automation, and data consolidation. This procurement, classified under the software package and information systems sector, was conducted as an open procedure, with key activities occurring in London, United Kingdom. The process began with a tender notice dated 10th May 2024 and culminated in contract awards to partners Fidenda and Anaplan on 14th August 2025. While the tender period concluded on 26th June 2024, subsequent adjustments were made for the budget specification, ranging from £600,000 to £900,000. The British Council sought an efficient solution provider to bolster its FP&A processes as a registered charity and public law body.

This opportunity can foster significant growth for businesses specialising in software systems, programming, consultancy services, and financial analysis solutions by partnering with a reputable organisation like the British Council. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs), such as Fidenda, and larger-scale firms, like Anaplan, were successfully awarded this contract, indicating a wide spectrum of possibilities for business engagement. Companies that can offer advanced solutions meeting functional and non-functional requirements while providing social value and competitive pricing are well-suited for similar procurement opportunities in this market segment. The project's substantial funding and long contract duration, with potential extensions, also provide opportunities for sustained collaboration and advancement.
