Overview and Purpose Tove Learning Trust is looking to upgrade its core finance software across our central team and our growing community of academies. We are running this pre-market engagement exercise to let prospective suppliers know what we need from a system and to see what solutions are currently available in the market. We need a modern, resilient, cloud-hosted platform that can handle multiple school entities seamlessly. The system must make life easier for our staff by cutting down on repetitive administrative tasks, while providing clear, straightforward financial tools for both our core finance teams and non-specialist staff like Headteachers and budget holders. This Preliminary Market Engagement exercise is issued for information gathering purposes only. It does not constitute a call for competition, invitation to tender, or any commitment by Tove Learning Trust to commence a procurement process. Participation in this exercise will not confer any advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement.

Please outline within your expression of interest how you believe your product can deliver on the requirements detailed below. We intend to open a booking calendar for suppliers to hold online or in person demonstrations to key stakeholders during September/October 2026 (dates to be confirmed). These slots will be limited and we will select suppliers for demonstration based on how well their expression of interest matches our key requirements. 2.

Any prospective solution must comfortably meet these standards: 2a System Stability and Performance Reliability: System downtime disrupts day-to-day operations meaning we require an exceptionally stable platform with minimal downtime. Fast Loading Times: The software needs to be highly responsive. Slow page loading and lagging click transitions create frustration and impact on productivity. Accessibility: The platform must be fully cloud-based. As well as desktop use, it would be beneficial if it was also compatible with mobile devices so users can easily manage tasks and complete approvals remotely. 2b Data Visibility and Navigation Easy Transaction Drill-Down: Finance staff should be able to click through transactions naturally-moving from a supplier record straight to relevant invoices, purchase orders, and audit hist... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/tove-learning-trust-financial-software-ocds-h6vhtk-06ea37) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 48440000 - **Delivery regions:** UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, UKK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 31/08/2027 to 31/08/2030 - **Renewal published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F080202-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-08-24T09:33:29.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-21T11:40:26.973Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-06ea37
