## Summary

The University of Strathclyde has completed the award stage for a procurement process titled 'Provision of ERP Migration Services,' focusing on software consultancy services within the Education sector. The contract, valued at £219,334, was announced on 6th August 2025 and awarded to Arribatec UK Ltd. Situated in Glasgow (Region UKM82), the procurement involved an open procedure aiming to migrate the University's current ERP system to the Unit4 Cloud over two phases. This important project required engaging with University IT and Finance teams to support an SQL server interim platform before moving to a cloud-based system, ensuring a comprehensive managed service over approximately 18 months. The award was based primarily on quality (70%) alongside pricing (30%).

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies in the IT services and software consultancy sectors. Experienced firms capable of providing advanced ERP migration solutions, such as those familiar with Microsoft SQL and Oracle database environments, stand to benefit. The contract was particularly suitable for Unit4 Elite or Premier Partners due to the specialised nature of the work involved. With Arribatec UK Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise, successfully securing the contract, it highlights an encouraging environment for SMEs to leverage their niche expertise and enhance their market presence within the education and IT service industries. Furthermore, the contract allows for possible extensions, providing sustained engagement and potential for further development within the sector.
