## Summary

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council sought continued provision of Oracle Fusion Cloud Services, its business-critical enterprise resource planning system. The platform supports the council’s finance, human resources, payroll and procurement functions, and manages financial resources, workforce and purchasing activity across the organisation. The requirement included additional analytics functionality and licence volumes aligned with current business needs. The work supports council operations in Sandwell.

The council intended to make a direct award to Oracle Corporation UK Limited, the existing supplier, following commercial negotiations. The planned renewal was for two years, from 31 October 2026 to 30 October 2028, with a stated value of £2,412,716 excluding VAT (£2,894,611 including VAT). The process is recorded as complete, but the award was cancelled on 30 September 2026. The award entry says the initial notice contained an error that was to be corrected in a revised transparency notice. The procurement covered one lot. No evaluation criteria are recorded.

This outcome shows demand from Sandwell Council for continued operation of an established Oracle Fusion ERP platform across finance, HR, payroll and procurement. Oracle Corporation UK Limited was the intended supplier, and the requirement included analytics functionality and licence volumes tailored to the council’s needs. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work with this buyer would need credible capability in Oracle Fusion and the capacity to support a business-critical, organisation-wide system and its continued use across these functions. The council’s stated rationale emphasises maintaining the existing platform and protecting its investment, so experience supporting an incumbent enterprise system would be particularly relevant.

## Notice

Sandwell Council are looking to direct award a contract to Oracle Corporation UK Limited for the continued provision of the Council's Oracle Fusion Cloud Services for a two-year period from 31 October 2026 to 30 October 2028. Oracle Fusion is the Council's business-critical Enterprise Resource Planning system supporting Finance, Human Resources, Payroll and Procurement. Following commercial negotiations, a renewal cost for 2 years has been secured, including additional analytics functionality and licence volumes reflecting current business need.

### Procurement Information

Oracle Fusion was approved as the Council's Enterprise Resource Planning system in October 2019, appointing Oracle Corporation UK Limited for an initial 5-year term with an option to extend for a further 2 years. The system went live in October 2024, following a Council-wide transformation programme, and now underpins Finance, HR, Payroll and Procurement across the organisation. Oracle Fusion is the platform through which the Council manages its financial resources, workforce and procurement activity, and its continued operation supports the delivery of all Corporate Plan priorities by ensuring corporate resources are managed efficiently, effectively, and transparently. The Council's own Programme Completion Report identified ninety benefits mapped to the Council's strategic priorities following go-live, including improved budget monitoring, automated approvals, and significant productivity gains for staff. The renewal protects the Council's investment in Oracle Fusion and ensures continued access to systems that are essential to the effective management of financial, workforce and procurement functions.
