The procurement process involves Alliance Homes, a housing association based in Portishead, Bristol, seeking a Supplier for a Financial Management System (FMS). This contract, classified under the industry category of business transaction and personal business software package, has a total value of £500,000 with a minimum value of £450,000. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically a restricted procedure, culminating in the award on 15 August 2017. The contract period is set to start on 4 September 2017 and conclude on 3 September 2020. The tender period ended on 26 May 2017.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in providing cloud-based financial management solutions, particularly those with expertise in integrated accounting systems. Companies that specialise in IT and software development, especially those targeting public sector contracts and with capability for delivering intuitive, scalable software solutions, would find themselves well-positioned to compete. Moreover, as Alliance Homes is keen on continuous improvement and automation, firms that can demonstrate innovation and efficiency in financial processes may stand out in their proposals.

## Notice

The objectives of this tender are to identify a Supplier who can provide a reliable and robust solution to manage and control our finances, balances and data, based on efficient and automated electronic processes and links rather than manual systems and working practices. The ideal solution needs to offer the following: o A fully functional core FMS package that can handle a multi-company arrangement and provide a single source of financial information o Cloud based technology, with a focus on continuous improvement o Efficient P2P functionality o Intuitive, flexible, and real time reporting capability to enable us to make sound business decisions with accurate financial data o An accounts production package (either as part of product, or functionality where it will work alongside another accounting software package) that can provide necessary statutory accounts and potentially management accounts efficiently, with minimal manual input required o Capability for seamless interface with the following critical business systems (N.B. this list may be subject to change as our operational environment expands and new systems potentially introduced)
