## Summary

The Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat) renewed its Oracle software subscription, which supports the authority’s finance and procurement system. The purchase is a financial systems software package, specifically a software-as-a-service subscription. Delivery is across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The requirement concerns continued access to the Oracle platform used for Ofwat’s internal financial management and procurement activities, rather than a new system implementation or a wider programme of software services.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Oracle Corporation UK Limited. Ofwat used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 14 October 2026 and runs from 28 October 2026 to 27 October 2028. Its value is £293,502.75 excluding VAT (£352,203.30 including VAT). The process was organised as one lot, covering the subscription renewal. No award evaluation criteria are reported; the published procurement method was direct award without competition. The award is active and the contract is active.

This renewal shows demand at Ofwat for continued access to Oracle SaaS financial systems supporting finance and procurement operations. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate that their platform can reliably underpin both financial management and procurement, and that they can provide the required subscription service across Ofwat’s England-wide operations. Credibility would depend on a close fit with the authority’s existing system environment and the ability to sustain business-critical software access throughout a multi-year service period. The award went to a large established software supplier through a non-competitive direct route, so competitors should be prepared to show a strong, relevant track record and a clear case for how their offering meets Ofwat’s specific operational needs.
