Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) has completed a procurement process for the Hosted SAP Reference System, valued at £107,119.90. This project falls under the information technology services industry and is aimed at hosting an SAP reference system to retain historical data following SQA's transition to Unit4 Business World as its ERP system. The procurement used an open procedure and was awarded on 26th November 2021. The contract period is set from 1st January 2022 to 31st January 2024, with the tender period concluding on 22nd October 2021.

This tender presents growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in IT services, particularly those experienced in hosting and maintaining ERP systems. Businesses with capabilities in managing historical data systems and providing ongoing technical support would be well-suited to respond to similar future procurement requests from the SQA or other organisations. Given the emphasis on technology transition and ongoing accessibility to historical data, organisations with expertise in data migration and system integration will also be advantageous contenders.
