## Summary

The Northern Ireland Assembly Commission, a central government public authority, has completed the procurement process for the provision of PECOS P2P Systems Software Licensing, Support, and Maintenance. The procurement, with a value of £61,300.80, is awarded to Elcom Systems Ltd., an SME based in London, and focuses on services within the financial systems software industry category. The procurement was conducted using a direct method below the competition threshold. The contract period spans from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2028, situated primarily in the Belfast region, UKN06. The latest award notice was published on 16th June 2026, marking the procurement stage as complete.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in software solutions and financial systems support, particularly those adept at delivering comprehensive Purchase to Pay systems. SMEs like Elcom Systems Ltd. that provide niche expertise in software maintenance and can adapt to the evolving needs of a public sector body would find this contract ideal. The necessity for an interim solution prior to the implementation of a new integrated system creates potential long-term collaboration prospects for capable vendors in the financial and IT services sectors.

## Notice

The NI Assembly Commission's Finance Office uses several software packages to deliver its services. PECOS Purchase to Pay (P2P) is one of the central packages with the software being used as both a purchase to pay and budgeting system having been used by the Assembly Commission from the mid-2000s. The current arrangements include an automated Purchase Ordering (PO) system to include; approval workflows within the system, an auto-generated audit trail to record same, a system solution for matching invoices to approved PO's, generation of invoicing files for upload to the central finance accounting system (SUN Systems). This facilitates the payment of supplier invoices and bills, records expenditure for budgeting and reporting purposes, aids reporting of expenditure commitments and accruals. Financial systems enable the Finance Office to carry out monthly financial management accounting, forecasting and budgeting processes to deliver essential Assembly Commission business. The financial systems software package also ensures that invoices are paid to suppliers and that expenditure is accurately recorded and reported to fulfil the Assembly Commission's internal and external reporting requirements. It is anticipated that the existing PECOS P2P software will be replaced as part of the wider Assembly Commission Corporate Systems Review project that will lead to the procurement and implementation of a new fully integrated system(s) to meet the needs of HR, Finance and Procurement. However, until a replacement system is fully implemented, the systems review project has been paused and alternative options are being considered. It is now anticipated that the project will be re-established shortly to procure several best of breed software solutions, but the implementation of agreed solutions will take at least 12-18 months therefore an interim solution is required to allow the Finance Office to continue operations.
