## Summary

Harlow College is seeking a provider to supply and implement a new finance system covering all aspects of its finance-system requirements. The procurement is for financial analysis and accounting software, including the associated solution needed to support the College’s financial operations. The buying organisation is Harlow College, based in Harlow, and delivery is across the United Kingdom. This is primarily a technology and business-systems opportunity for suppliers able to provide a comprehensive finance platform rather than a standalone software licence. The requirement suits organisations that can work collaboratively with the College and provide an end-to-end solution capable of meeting its operational and accounting needs.

The process has reached tender: Harlow College invited offers through an open, competitive flexible procedure comprising a two-stage restricted tender under the Procurement Act 2023. Enquiries had to be submitted by 8 September 2026 at 12:00, and tender responses by 15 September 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission is permitted in English through the specified supplier portal. The estimated value is £220,000 excluding VAT, or £264,000 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 August 2027 to 30 July 2032, with extensions of up to four additional 12-month periods, potentially to 30 July 2036. Evaluation is weighted 60% price and 40% quality and technical criteria; the award period ends on 2 August 2027.

This opportunity is suited to finance-system suppliers with demonstrable experience delivering and supporting comprehensive accounting or financial analysis software for an organisation such as a college. Providers should be able to show relevant experience, business quality standards and accreditations, and the capacity to collaborate with the College throughout implementation and service delivery. The two-stage process requires candidates to complete a Selection Questionnaire and provide evidence supporting their economic and technical suitability before progressing. Small and medium-sized enterprises, and voluntary, community or social enterprises, are identified as suitable participants. Suppliers must provide accurate information: serious misrepresentation or false evidence may make a candidate ineligible and prevent further participation.
