Notice Information
Notice Title
Consultancy Support for Investment Platform Implementation
Notice Description
Border to Coast has propositions within Public Listed, Private Markets, and Real Estate asset classes that deliver investment opportunities and management to our Partner Funds, with specific systems in place for each asset class. As part of our strategy to offer more capabilities to our Partner Funds and a unified approach to investments data within the organisation, we need to implement a platform that enables management of, and insight into, Partner Fund cross-asset investments. We engaged in a public procurement for the platform and are well progressed through that process. We require consultancy support to assist us with the implementation of the selected system, as set out below. The platform needs to be integrated with our administrator and other third parties to enable us to gain efficiency benefits, manage from the perspective of the whole customer fund, and strategically implement the provision of new capabilities.
Lot Information
Lot 1
Renewal: There will be the option for an additional 6 month extension after the initial 1 year term, although this is not guaranteed.
Planning Information
Border to Coast have/will have initial discussions with at least 3 suppliers that are/will be non-commercial in nature. Suppliers that haven't been initially approached are still invited to bid for the ITT.
