## Summary

Wolverhampton City Council, alongside the West Midlands Pension Fund, is in the tender stage of procuring an integrated fund accounting system, titled "WMPF26001 - Fund Accounting Software", categorized under accounting software packages. This tender aims to find a supplier to deliver a robust system supporting various asset classes to meet present and future regulatory and investment needs. The procurement process is under the open procedure method, with the tender deadline set for 29th April 2026, followed by the award period ending on 15th June 2026. This procurement focuses on goods and is expected to operate within the UK with an estimated contract value of £2,400,000. The contractual period commences from 28th February 2027 to 27th February 2030, with options for extensions until March 2032.

This tender provides substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in accounting and financial software solutions. Particularly, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can offer high-quality, automation-enhanced, and audit-strengthened systems are well-suited to compete for this contract. With a strong emphasis on improving transparency and reducing operational and financial risks, businesses with expertise in compliance with the Government's forthcoming LGPS reforms from April 2026 could find this as an ideal platform to showcase their technical solutions. The inclusion of open market engagement ensures a level playing field, whilst previous insights from software companies have been anonymised and incorporated to ensure fair competition among potential bidders.

## Notice

The primary objective of the procurement is to appoint a supplier capable of delivering a robust, integrated fund accounting system that supports all asset classes and enables WMPF to operate effectively within a changing regulatory and investment environment. The solution must improve transparency, enhance automation, strengthen auditability, and reduce operational and financial risk. It must provide accurate, timely, and consistent financial information to support effective governance, oversight, and decision-making. A further objective is to ensure that WMPF's fund accounting arrangements remain fit for purpose in light of the Government's "LGPS: Fit for the Future" reforms, expected to take effect from April 2026.

### Planning Information

A prior, limited (closed) engagement exercise was carried out to seek early insight into market capabilities. This PME notice is being published to ensure full transparency of that activity and to provide all suppliers with visibility of the information gathered and the intended next steps. Any insights obtained through the earlier engagement will be shared openly and equitably as part of the tender process to ensure that no supplier benefits disproportionately from having taken part at an earlier stage.
Participation in earlier or current engagement activities does not confer any competitive advantage. Any supplier‑specific findings obtained during the closed session have been anonymised and summarised for publication as part of the tender.
