Procedure rationaleSport England tendered and procured the use of Oracle Netsuite as an integrated finance system through a competitive procedure conducted via GCloud 9 and licence renewals for the first four years were covered by the initial business case.
Netsuite licences are required to access the financial system to ensure that the recording of financial transactions, making payments, producing the annual accounts, and reporting to DCMS and Companies House. Netsuite, or other finance system, is required to enable the organisations to discharge its responsibilities, to DCMS and other regulatory bodies, to retain auditable records ensuring accounts are completed in accordance with financial reporting standards.
The system is highly technical and there are specific interoperability requirements. Netsuite is an integrated financial system, which hosts 4 different companies for which accounts are prepared. There are complex relationships between these subsidiaries to ensure that not only the finances are recorded accurately but VAT, which is subject to partial exemption, is calculated correctly.
No reasonable alternative or substitute currently exists. Any new implementation would have to be designed and tested to ensure that the integrity of the financial records between the subsidiaries are accurately maintained. A 2-year renewal of the existing system will allow a sufficient window to complete a tendering exercise followed by an implementation and testing process to ensure the needs of the organisation can be achieved. A tender exercise to identify and implement a replacement financial system, which underpins the financial integrity of the organisation will take a minimum of 18 months.
A voluntary ex ante transparency notice was published in advance of the award, and the award was approved under the Department for Culture Media and Sport Spend Control process. |
