Notice Information

Notice Title

Salesforce Automated Testing Procurement

Notice Description

The Fund is currently delivering a new Investment Management System to replace legacy systems. This will also include migration of data (structured and unstructured) from these legacy systems to the new system. The system is used for pre application, assessment, monitoring and ensuring contractual compliance and providing data to evidence impact. It is predominantly a tool for case management within Business Delivery however the outputs are used within the Business Insight and Innovation part of the business. The tool is managed by an in house team. The project's objective is to provide a tool that enables automated testing of the Salesforce platform once changes are made to it by the in house developer team. Currently this is a manual process which is time consuming for the team. The new IMS went live April 2021 for all new applications. All required data must be migrated from live cases by March 2022 and this will create new workflows and structures within the service. This invitation to bid is for a contractor who can: * Provide a Salesforce Specific test solution that is automated and maintainable. * This must be a low code solution that is easy to use. Aims and objectives The aim of this ITT is to identify a tool that supports the automated testing of the Salesforce solution in use at the Fund. The objectives are to: * Deliver a tool that enables testing. * Enable the Fund to understand the licensing approach and full lifecycle cost of the tool * Ensure users of the tool are able to deploy and manage the tool. Outputs & Timescales The main output will be a new tool in use as part of the Salesforce solution at the Fund that is easy to use and maintain. Your tender proposals must be sent electronically via e-mail before the tender return deadline of NOON 1st November 2021 to the following contact: Jamie McGarrigle Jamie.Mcgarrigle@heritagefund.org.uk
