Notice Title

UK_2022_ Procurement of and Integrated Business Planning Tool

Notice Description

The British Council is intending to procure an off the shelf IBP (Integrated Business Planning) tool to serve the tactical and strategic planning needs of the Global Exams business.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The British Council is intending to procure an off the shelf IBP (Integrated Business Planning) tool to serve the tactical and strategic planning needs of the Global Exams business. Over the course of last three years, the Global Exams teams across seven regions have embedded the Sales, Marketing and Operational Planning (SMandOP) process as part of current ways of working. While each region has developed a set of tools/templates to support the Demand planning and Supply fulfilment at a tactical level on a weekly/monthly basis, there is no single (global) integrated business planning tool presently available for regions to do planning, both at strategic as well as at tactical level. The main purpose of this project is to procure an off-the-shelf IBP tool along with bundled services from a supplier with a proven track record of implementing IBP solutions. The project scope includes Procurement and management of full Implementation lifecycle of the global tool, in a phased manner. Additional information: Annual budget for the tool is GBP 250,000 (GBP Two hundred and fifty thousand). This includes costs associated with both Implementation as well as Annual license costs.

Renewal: The Contract awarded will be for a duration of 24 months with an option for an extension for up to an additional 12 months
