## Summary

Southampton City Council bought a cloud-based software-as-a-service financial reporting and forecasting solution, including implementation, provisioning, training and ongoing support. The system is intended to support the council’s financial reporting and forecasting work. It is a software procurement covering business and financial software, with database and operating software also classified. The delivery location is Southampton. The purchase was made through the G-Cloud 14 framework. The requirement combines supply of the cloud solution with the services needed to put it into use and support it thereafter, rather than being a software licence alone.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Mercur Solutions (UK) Ltd. The contract is active and was signed on 26 September 2026, at a value of £337,092.01. The contract period is not stated in the available process details. The council used a direct award through the G-Cloud 14 framework, without publishing a competition notice. The procurement was evaluated on price. One bid was recorded, from an SME. Although the tender’s single lot is marked cancelled, the award and active contract are reported for that requirement; no cancellation of the award or contract is recorded.

This award shows Southampton City Council’s demand for a cloud-hosted financial reporting and forecasting platform backed by implementation, provisioning, user training and ongoing support. A credible supplier for a comparable requirement would need to provide the software as a service and demonstrate the capacity to configure and deploy it for a council, prepare users to operate it, and sustain support after implementation. Suppliers with relevant financial reporting and forecasting software, together with database and operating software capability, are closest to the stated scope. The council used the G-Cloud 14 framework and selected a supplier on price, so framework availability and a competitive cost position are relevant characteristics for providers pursuing this specific type of requirement.
