The procurement process has reached the award stage and uses a direct procurement method. This direct award, justified as a special case due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, pertains to Oracle Cloud's unique capabilities in delivering essential services. The contract, with a gross value of £2,259,480, has been awarded to ORACLE CORPORATION UK LIMITED. The procurement category falls under software programming and consultancy services, located within the United Kingdom, specifically addressing the region's sub-central governmental needs. Key dates for this process include the contract's commencement on 20th June 2025 and its conclusion on 19th May 2030. This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses capable of providing or integrating specialised software solutions that support public service systems. Although this particular contract has been awarded directly to Oracle due to unique technical requirements, companies with expertise in consultancy services, software development, and cloud-based solutions may find opportunities for collaboration or subcontracting. Large-scale enterprises, particularly those that specialise in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or cloud infrastructure, could leverage such partnerships to expand their service offerings within the public sector, especially as authorities continue to digitise and streamline their operations. ## Notice Award of contract for Oracle Fusion Cloud SaaS Licences for West Midlands Fire Service for a 5 year period (2025 to 2030) ### Procurement Information Direct award justified as a special case. This procurement meets schedule 5, paragraph 6 of the Procurement Act. 'The following conditions are met in relation to the public contract- (a)due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and (b)there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works.' Oracle Corporation UK Ltd develops the ERP cloud-based system used to manage business critical functions such as finance, payrolls, HR, procurement and organisational development. Moving away from Oracle would cause technical and migration difficulties and the cost to change to a different system would be prohibitive. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032753-2025 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Direct award | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Jun 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 5 May 2025 | | Contract period | 19 Jun 2025 - 19 May 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £2,259,480 | | Contracts value | £2,259,480 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WEST MIDLANDS FIRE AND RESCUE AUTHORITY | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B7 4HW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Nechells | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ORACLE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72200000 - Software programming and consultancy services ## Release History - 16 Jun 2025 at 16:25 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032753-2025 - 6 May 2025 at 16:29 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019235-2025 - 6 May 2025 at 15:55 - Award - UK5 - Transparency Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019212-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032753-2025 16th June 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019235-2025 6th May 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019212-2025 6th May 2025 - Transparency notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.oracle.com/uk - http://www.wmfs.net - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
