Summary of the contracting process

The Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) has completed the procurement process for the supply of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, specifically Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016. This tender falls under the goods category for software packages and information systems, classified under CPV code 48000000. The contracting process took place in Wakefield, United Kingdom (region UKE45). The procurement method employed was an open procedure, covered by the GPA. The contractual term originally covered from 3rd January 2017 to 2nd January 2022, with a potential extension of up to five years, allowing a maximum duration of ten years subject to annual performance reviews and price negotiations. The modification of the contract was necessitated by critical system requirements and overall operational dependency, which led to ongoing amendments, including a code rewrite estimated to take 24 months.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in ERP systems, information technology, and professional services related to software implementation, training, and maintenance. Large-scale organisations with a focus on Enterprise Resource Planning software packages or those involved in providing comprehensive IT solutions related to Microsoft's technology stack are ideally positioned to compete. Firms capable of delivering high-quality performance that meets stringent KPIs will find growth potential through collaboration with YPO, as this engagement involves substantial customization and ongoing system support. The procurement, which initially saw Advania UK Limited take over from Azzure IT Limited post-supplier integration, underlines the opportunity for large enterprises with a deep understanding of ERP system functionalities to contribute effectively to public sector requirements. The contract, valued at £2.39 million, presents a substantial engagement opportunity within a complex, multi-year framework.

Notice Title

YPO - 000742 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

Notice Description

Background: YPO had an IT Strategy based around the Microsoft technology stack. At the end of 2014, YPO initiated a feasibility study to ascertain and document YPO's requirements of an ERP system and to test those requirements against Microsoft's Dynamics NAV 2016. A key deliverable of that project was a solution recommendation from a third party ERP consultancy, who undertook a thorough analysis of YPO's detailed requirements and tested those requirements against the out of the box and potential development functionality of Microsoft's Dynamics NAV 2016.

YPO estimate that there are over 700 days' worth of customised code to rewrite, and this is required for YPO to be able to upgrade the core application further. Current customisation is not compatible with the latest versions of Business Central. The code rewrite is estimated to take approximately 24 months. Functionality of the system remains the same, the rewrite is like-for-like. This will help YPO identify issues, test functionality, and also lessens the impact on users and reduces risk to the business operations and customers. Following the rewrite YPO will then upgrade to the latest version of Business Central. YPO stipulated in the initial tender documentation that throughout the development process requests for change (RFC's) will occur. Any additional developments which are NOT covered in the original specification/requirements will go through the RFC process. Therefore, such development is within the scope of the contract. YPO acknowledge that the costs incurred with Phase 2 rollout fall outside of the initial anticipated contract value, however these additional costs are within limits of regulation 72 of PCR 2015. The total contract value increase was calculated up to be up to 41% of the original contract value.",
                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: YPO has taken a decision to modify this contract due to criticality of the system and dependence of daily operations on the system. Incumbent supplier has an in-depth knowledge of the system, its exiting application and YPO processes, including the custom code that needs to be re-written. The code has been originally written by the incumbent supplier and changing the provider poses significant risk to YPO in terms of system stability and support, threatening the continuity of daily operations not to mention the duplication of work and costs."
