Procurement of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Solution

The Authority is looking to procure an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution. The current ERP is used by staff and managers across all areas of the Authority to pay invoices, raise debts, procure supplies, and manage staff. In addition, there are over 40 links with other internal and external systems which involve inbound and outbound data including benefits payments, foster carer payments and Housing rents. The ERP solution will need to facilitate the complex data flows to maintain business continuity. Services that required are Finance (Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, General Ledger, Cash Management and Budgeting), Payroll, Human Resources, eProcurement and Contracts, Recruitment and Training and Development. In addition to the system implementation and ongoing support, it will be necessary for the Supplier to help the Authority review, change and embed new working practices and processes that take full advantage of the new opportunities that a new modern system will provide. e.g., automated workflows, access via mobile devices or chat-bots for HR advice etc.
