## Summary

Bury Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned managed resource services for three linked finance-system workstreams: Proactis, income management and online payments, and inventory management for stores. The work supports the council’s Finance Transformation Programme and its move to Unit4 Cloud. Services are to be delivered under agreed Statements of Work, with programme-management-office governance, progress reporting and knowledge transfer. The procurement is for services, specifically recruitment and managed resource support. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement brings together specialist resource for several connected finance systems rather than a single standalone system project, with delivery aligned to the council’s wider transformation programme.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited. The award is dated 2 October 2016 and is valued at £217,970 excluding VAT (£261,564 including VAT). The contract period runs from 22 October 2026 to 11 October 2027. There was one lot. The council used a competitive, selective procedure to make an award under a framework. The award covers the three finance-system workstreams: Proactis, income management and online payments, and stores inventory management. Work is governed through agreed Statements of Work, with programme oversight, reporting and knowledge transfer. The award is active, and the overall tender status is complete.

For suppliers preparing for comparable finance-transformation work at Bury, this award indicates demand for managed specialist resources spanning multiple linked systems, rather than a single-system implementation alone. A credible competitor would need to show it can provide suitably experienced people for Proactis, income management and online payments, and stores inventory, and coordinate their work with a wider finance programme and Unit4 Cloud. The stated delivery model also makes the ability to work to defined Statements of Work, operate within programme-management governance, report progress and transfer knowledge important. Experience delivering recruitment or managed-resource services for public-sector finance-system programmes would be relevant evidence of capability. The requirement’s multi-workstream scope favours suppliers able to organise and sustain specialist delivery across connected systems.
