## Summary

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council procured a unified cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to support its corporate back-office services. The requirement covers finance, procurement, budgeting, human resources, reporting, workflow automation and associated management information. The scope includes software licences or subscriptions, system implementation and configuration, user training, hosting, support, maintenance and ongoing development or other professional services. The ERP software package and related services are for the Council’s operations in Redcar and Cleveland. The selected platform is Workday, supplied and implemented by Softcat PLC. This is primarily an integrated business software and implementation requirement, rather than a standalone supply of packaged software.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure: a direct award under the Government Commercial Agency’s Back Office Software 2 framework, without publishing a separate call for competition. Softcat PLC was selected for the ERP solution and associated services. The contract value is £7,501,485. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and is recorded as active. The requirement was arranged as one lot, with price as the award criterion. The Council assessed the solution against its business, functional, technical and commercial requirements and concluded that it met the requirements and offered an appropriate commercial arrangement under the framework. One bid was recorded for the lot.

This procurement indicates demand for suppliers able to deliver a complete cloud ERP transformation for a local authority, combining software with implementation, configuration, hosting, training, support, maintenance and continued development. Credible competitors would need strong capability across finance, procurement, budgeting, human resources, reporting and workflow processes, with the capacity to integrate these functions into one system. Experience mobilising and supporting large corporate platforms in a council or similarly complex organisation would be relevant, as would the ability to provide sustained user support and professional services after implementation. The route to market also shows the importance of access to, and compliance with, the Government Commercial Agency’s Back Office Software 2 framework and its direct-award arrangements.
