The Authority reserves the right to make substantive and relevant changes that relate to the transformation programme, subject to and in accordance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (Regulation 72). This will be procured subject to the Public Contract Regulations 2015, and will be a Competitive Dialogue procedure. Any indication of value in this notice or in the public domain is indicative only, and due to the nature of the process it is expected to be subject to change as the dialogue progresses. The Authority is entering a period of unprecedented change. The future scale and shape of the Authority is unknown and will only emerge as the transformation journey unfolds over the coming years. What is certain is that things will be very different. In this reality it is essential that the core business processes of the Authority are as efficient and streamlined as possible and that individual managers and staff have the right tools and information at their fingertips in order to deliver the services of the Authority as effectively as possible. The Core Business Transformation Programme is central to the Authority realising the changes it needs to make whilst ensuring its core business processes are appropriate for supporting a reshaped organisation. The programme seeks to bring about a transformation in the way Human Resources, Finance, P2P and Payroll activities are undertaken. Whilst the Core Business Transformation Programme is predominantly a business change programme it does contain a significant technology refresh element. It is the aim of this procurement to deliver not only the technology to enable changed ways of working but also to deliver a transformed way of working that is flexible enough to support an organisation that is on a change journey that will last well beyond the initial technology implementation timeline. It is for the above reasons that the Authority requires new systems and business processes to be operational and embedded well ahead of 2025. Additional information: Where the successful tenderer is using a company within its supply chain, or an individual consortium member, to deliver the People and Finance Software solution element of the tender the Council reserves the right to enter into a contract directly with that organisation at or around contract award; or for that element to be novated during the life of the contract (including any extensions).

Renewal: Subject to the outcome of dialogue with successful applicants, it is envisaged the initial phase of the programme will be delivered within a period of two years from contract award, with an additional 8 years of delivery and use of system, and the contract will then be subject to renewal on any number of occasions for any duration up to a maximum term of 120 months (10 years) in total.
