## Summary

South Kesteven District Council, located in Grantham, United Kingdom, has awarded a contract for project management support services related to the implementation of a new finance system, Unit4. The award was made to EMBRIDGE CONSULTING (UK) LIMITED, a recognised partner of Unit4, to ensure a seamless transition. The contract, valued at £238,800, commenced on 17th June 2025 and is set to conclude by 30th September 2025, with a provision for extension until December 2025 if necessary. The contract follows a direct award procurement method, justified by the need for consistency and to avoid delays associated with onboarding a new supplier at this late stage in the project.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in IT services such as consulting, software development, and support. Suitable businesses to compete in similar opportunities would be those that exhibit a scale appropriate to mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) and possess specialised knowledge or partnerships with technology systems similar to Unit4. EMBRIDGE CONSULTING's involvement underscores the advantage of strategic insights and existing project knowledge, suggesting that companies with established reputations or pre-existing relationships with specific systems could find valuable prospects in similar procurement processes.

## Notice

The Council is committed to implementing a new finance system (Unit4) due to go live before Sept 2025 when the current finance system is switched off. Embridge Consulting initially carried out a standalone piece of work early in the project (awarded via G-Cloud). Since completion of the initial work, it has come to light that additional resource is required to ensure a smooth transition onto the new system. South Kesteven DC intend to award a new contract with Embridge Consulting as they are a recognised partner of Unit 4 and already have knowledge of this specific project so would be able to provide consistency in work. Use of another supplier at this stage of the project would cause delays on an already time sensitive project due to the additional time it would take to get a new supplier up to speed on the project.
