This tender, with the title "Financial Accounting System: Supply, Design, Implementation and Training," is currently at the tender stage and follows an open procurement method. Interested parties must submit their proposals by the deadline of 14th September 2017. This request aims to address the humanitarian needs intensified by the ongoing crisis in Syria, with the need for an effective financial accounting system crucial to the continued operation of SARC's comprehensive network throughout the country. This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in financial accounting software, development services, and system integration, particularly those experienced in working within humanitarian sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, whether as stand-alone bidders or in joint ventures. The successful applicant will engage in a legal contract commencing on 4th October 2017, focused on the implementation and ongoing support of the system, ensuring a stable operational environment for SARC's crucial services. ## Notice This Request for Proposal (RFP) is an invitation to companies/firms to submit proposals for a financial accounting software system for the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC). The intent is to obtain information leading to the selection of an appropriate financial accounting system that will best meet the needs of the organization. Respondents who are selected for further consideration will be invited to make an onsite presentation to demonstrate their system. The Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) is an independent humanitarian organisation founded in 1942 under decree No/540/1942 and decree No/117/1966. Its headquarters is in Damascus and it has 14 branches in the fourteen governorates of Syria plus 75 sub-branches. SARC is part of the Red Cross Red Crescent movement which is the world's largest humanitarian network governed by the seven fundamental principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality. The ongoing crisis in Syria coupled with the enormous humanitarian needs in the country has resulted in increased pressure on the financial systems of the SARC. In light of these, the SARC through the support of its partners (Norwegian Red Cross and the British Red Cross), is soliciting bids for a financial accounting software. The successful applicant will enter into a legal contract to provide professional resources including project management, system analysis and design, implementation, configuration and training for the selected financial-accounting software package. Companies/Firms can bid as individual companies or as joint ventures provided that in the joint ventures, the company leading the joint venture (Joint Venture Lead) must be clearly identified and details of the competencies of the Joint Venture partners must be clearly stated. Joint venture agreements between the joint venture lead company may be required if selected detailing the nature and extents of the joint venture. The contract resulting from this RFP is intended to result in the design, installation, implementation of a fully-functional financial accounting software system, and provide on-going support and maintenance including the cost for module adjustment where necessary. The length of the contract shall be for an initial period of one year to ensure the software is fully integrated with SARC, after which the contract shall be renewed on an annual basis for maintenance and changes to software design. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/61bd83ec-d2e7-499b-9f4a-338f863a204b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Aug 2017 | | Submission deadline | 14 Sep 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Oct 2017 - 31 Dec 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRITISH RED CROSS | | Locality | PAISLEY | | Post town | Paisley | | Postcode | PA1 1EA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM33 Inverclyde, East Renfrewshire, and Renfrewshire | | Local authority | Renfrewshire | | Electoral ward | Paisley East and Central | | Westminster constituency | Paisley and Renfrewshire South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48440000 - Financial analysis and accounting software package - 48443000 - Accounting software package - 48444000 - Accounting system - 72212443 - Accounting software development services ## Release History - 29 Aug 2017 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/61bd83ec-d2e7-499b-9f4a-338f863a204b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/61bd83ec-d2e7-499b-9f4a-338f863a204b 29th August 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG146510 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.redcross.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
