Notice Title
Finance & Accounting and Purchase to Pay System
Notice Description
Integrated Finance & Accounting and Purchase to Pay system that connects finance and procurement in one secure platform. The authority intends to directly award a contract to the incumbent P2P supplier for additional repeat services necessary to maintain continuity of the existing Purchase to Pay platform. The value of the contract has been updated to full two year value (previous notice stated one year in error) and inclusion of InStream which was previously a separate contract with the same supplier.
Procurement Information
The authority intends to directly award a contract to the incumbent P2P supplier for additional repeat services necessary to maintain continuity of the existing Purchase to Pay platform. A procurement process for the future P2P solution is currently being planned and will proceed once internal capacity allows. This is likely to be within the next 6-8 months. This direct award is strictly time-limited, proportionate, and designed solely to ensure the uninterrupted functioning of essential financial operations pending the re-procurement process.
