Integra wins four public sector finance software contracts

Integra has won four public sector contracts to replace OneAdvanced's eFinancials systems at two local authorities and two NHS trusts.

The named organisations are Epping Forest District Council and Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust. The other local authority and NHS trust have not yet been identified.

The contracts extend a recent run of public sector wins for the British finance software provider. All four organisations are moving from the same incumbent platform as they update their finance systems.

In local government, Epping Forest District Council and another council have chosen Integra for financial management operations. Integra will extract and migrate existing financial data for both authorities and create a seven-year archive of historic records.

The archive is intended to preserve access to information needed for audit, Freedom of Information and statutory reporting, while reducing the migration work required from in-house finance teams.

"We wanted a finance system that could meet the needs of the council, supported by a team with a good understanding of the public sector and the practicalities involved in moving from one system to another. Integra's experience, together with its approach to managing the migration of our existing financial data, gave us confidence in our decision and we look forward to working with the team," said Owen Sparks, Strategic Director (S151 Officer) at Epping Forest District Council.

Shared service

In the NHS, Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust and another unnamed trust have selected Integra through a shared-service arrangement for financial management across NHS organisations.

The shared service was established in 2025 to support NHS trusts in the North of England and is now expanding into other parts of the country. The programme also plans to extend its offering to local government.

By placing multiple organisations on a common finance platform, the arrangement is designed to standardise processes and reduce duplicated work across participating bodies. It also gives organisations broader access to reporting, automation and business intelligence tools.

Matt Longbottom, Project & Development Accountant and Finance Skills Development Lead at Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust, said: "Through the shared-service arrangement, Integra is our finance system of choice. It offers a modern, future-ready finance platform designed specifically for the public sector.

"Integra's automation, reporting and AI capabilities will help reduce manual effort and support our long-term transformation goals."

Wider pipeline

The four awards form part of a broader period of new business for Integra, which has secured nine customer wins in the past 12 months.

Those additional customers include the Independent Football Regulator, Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service, Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust. The list points to demand across several parts of the public sector, including regulation, emergency services, local government and healthcare.

Integra now works with more than 150 public sector organisations across the UK and Ireland. The company is also marking 50 years of supplying finance technology to the sector.

David Grigsby, Managing Director at Integra, said: "It's been a very positive period for us across both local government and the NHS. We're also celebrating Integra's 50th anniversary this year, and there's something incredibly satisfying about marking that milestone while welcoming a new generation of customers.

"The decisions by these organisations to work with Integra are a real endorsement of our product, our people and the service we provide.

"What comes through strongly in our conversations with customers is that the technology itself is only one part of the decision. They also want to know what implementation will involve, how their data will be moved and what support they'll receive along the way.

"We take on much of that work ourselves, including extracting and loading financial data and creating an archive of historic information, which takes a considerable burden away from customers' own teams.

"As public sector organisations look for ways to work more efficiently and collaboratively, we're seeing growing interest in technology that can support both individual organisations and complex shared-service environments."
