Procurement Information

Following the pandemic, 2022 has seen unprecedented demand for IT Contractors across the UK. So much so, that 2 stage interviews, or delays in offering positions, would invariably result in the contractor taking an offer elsewhere. Back in May 2022 ERP specialist resources were extremely difficult to find and even more so in the Northwest, as the London markets were saturated with opportunities. University of Manchester (UoM) are implementing a critical time dependant, large and complex ERP solution which is an on-premise solution. Enquiries to the University's contracted agencies proved very challenging as the message was consistent from all:- * It may take some time to fill this position as the demand is at an all-time high. * All ERP contractors known to the agency were already in contract * Contractors preferred to work on cloud-based solutions. * Manchester was either too far to travel or they wanted to work from home UoM had no choice but to widen the search for specialist resources to non-contracted providers, that had immediately available and contractors willing to travel to Manchester. Using several specialist ERP search and selection recruiters that are recognised as the leading agencies for top tier ERP solutions, UoM identified several candidates which were available or coming available within 2 weeks that lived in or around Manchester. The chosen company, CTR Partners, have subsequently been able to recruit to additional hard to recruit roles that contracted providers have not been able to fill and it is our intention to retain the services of this provider for the duration of the Finance Transformation Project (October 2023).
