This tender, under the services category with a focus on software implementation, aims to enhance investment management capabilities across various asset classes. The public procurement process was conducted using an open and competitive flexible procedure, ensuring transparency and fair competition. The awarded contract, valued at £2,000,000 with an optional six-month extension, was signed on 19th January 2026, with services expected to start immediately and concluding by 4th January 2027. This procurement process offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those with expertise in enterprise investment and data platform implementation. Companies like Strata Financial Services Consulting Ltd, which was the awarded supplier, stand to benefit greatly. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a background in software implementation services and those that can demonstrate efficiency in dealing with cross-asset investments and third-party integrations are well-positioned to compete in such tenders. This tender reflects a substantial opportunity for businesses aiming to establish themselves as pivotal partners in driving strategic investment initiatives for large-scale public sector projects. ## Notice Border to Coast has propositions within Public Listed, Private Markets, and Real Estate asset classes that deliver investment opportunities and management to our Partner Funds, with specific systems in place for each asset class. As part of our strategy to offer more capabilities to our Partner Funds and a unified approach to investments data within the organisation, we need to implement a platform that enables management of, and insight into, Partner Fund cross-asset investments. We engaged in a public procurement for the platform and are well progressed through that process. We require consultancy support to assist us with the implementation of the selected system, as set out below. The platform needs to be integrated with our administrator and other third parties to enable us to gain efficiency benefits, manage from the perspective of the whole customer fund, and strategically implement the provision of new capabilities. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: There will be the option for an additional 6 month extension after the initial 1 year term, although this is not guaranteed. ### Planning Information Border to Coast have/will have initial discussions with at least 3 suppliers that are/will be non-commercial in nature. Suppliers that haven't been initially approached are still invited to bid for the ITT. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/004656-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Jan 2026 | | Submission deadline | 18 Nov 2025 | | Future notice date | 10 Nov 2025 | | Award date | 2 Dec 2025 | | Contract period | 20 Jan 2026 - 4 Jan 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,000,000 | | Lots value | £2,000,000 | | Awards value | £2,000,000 | | Contracts value | £2,000,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BORDER TO COAST PENSIONS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 2HJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | STRATA FINANCIAL SERVICES CONSULTING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72263000 - Software implementation services ## Release History - 20 Jan 2026 at 10:20 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/004656-2026 - 3 Dec 2025 at 14:38 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/079403-2025 - 11 Nov 2025 at 10:58 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/072694-2025 - 30 Sep 2025 at 15:51 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/061051-2025 - 29 Sep 2025 at 15:05 - Planning - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/060632-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/004656-2026 20th January 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/079403-2025 3rd December 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/072694-2025 11th November 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/061051-2025 30th September 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/060632-2025 29th September 2025 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com/Register - https://procontract.duenorth.com/Login/Index?ReturnUrl=/Login/LogoutConfirmation - https://stratafsc.com/ - https://www.bordertocoast.org.uk/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
