The open competition tender was concluded on 1st June 2026, with Technology Services Group Limited awarded the contract. This contract, valued at £80,468.40 gross, commences on 1st October 2026 and will run for three years, with potential extensions of up to two additional one-year periods. The procurement process was below the threshold, using an open competition method, representing an opportunity for businesses in the financial systems software industry located across regions in the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in cloud-based financial systems, particularly those offering comprehensive implementation and support services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the capability to deliver environment setup, configuration, testing, training, and mobilisation services, alongside the provision of software subscriptions, hosting, and maintenance, would find this tender especially advantageous. Given the detailed award criteria, which emphasize functional fit, quality, and social value, businesses that can demonstrate these capabilities are well-positioned to compete successfully in future opportunities of this nature. ## Notice Replacement for our current finance system as the current system is coming to end of life for support. Prefer a cloud-based, off-the shelf finance system. The procurement includes a full implementation service to include environment setup, configuration, testing, training and mobilisation, leading to a planned go-live of 1 October 2026. The contract will run for 3 years, with two optional extensions of up to 1 year each (1+1). The requirement covers software subscription, hosting, support, maintenance and all services needed to implement and operate the finance system throughout the term. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: Extensions of up to 2 12 month extensions are possible ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/051291-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 8 May 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 May 2026 | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2026 - 30 Sep 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £130,000 | | Lots value | £130,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £67,057 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WARRINGTON & VALE ROYAL COLLEGE | | Locality | WARRINGTON | | Post town | Warrington | | Postcode | WA2 8QA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD61 Warrington | | Local authority | Warrington | | Electoral ward | Orford | | Westminster constituency | Warrington North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | TECHNOLOGY SERVICES GROUP | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48442000 - Financial systems software package - 48443000 - Accounting software package - 48444000 - Accounting system ## Release History - 1 Jun 2026 at 10:35 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/051291-2026 - 7 May 2026 at 16:31 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/042181-2026 - 24 Apr 2026 at 15:47 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037757-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/051291-2026 1st June 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/042181-2026 7th May 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037757-2026 24th April 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-15271 To access this opportunity the information is detailed within the attached file - Tender request - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-15272 The tender response form is attached which should be completed by all interested suppliers alongside the excel document (Pricing schedule) - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-15273 - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-15767 All questions and answers to clarification questions have been detailed on the attached document ## Notice URLs - http://www.tsg.com - http://www.wvr.ac.uk - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.wvr.ac.uk - https://www.wvr.ac.ukSubmittothefollowingemailaddress:finance@wvr.ac.ukEnsurethatthesubjectwithintheemailstatesFINANCESYSTEMTENDER ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
