Key dates include a future notice set for 29 August 2017 and the anticipated contract period starting on 30 September 2017 for one year, with possible annual renewals thereafter. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in financial software solutions, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) that offer innovative financial management systems. With the need for effective financial integration and ongoing support in a complex humanitarian context, companies that can demonstrate robust software capabilities, alongside training and implementation services, will be well positioned to compete. Interested providers should prepare for the potential of an onsite presentation, which may take place remotely or within Syria, depending on the process's advancements. ## Notice This is an invitation to companies/consultants to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) 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 submit a full tender bid with an onsite presentation to demonstrate their system. The onsite presentation could be remote or in Syria, depending on at what stage in the process it is. 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, SARC requested the Norwegian Red Cross to support in the development of the National Societies financial systems. A financial management assessment was carried out whose aim was to: 1. Gain an overview of financi... and accountability. This is to be done through the development of a financial manual and the related policy hand book; 2. Introducing and implementing a financial accounting software; and 3. Building the capacity of (SARC) finance staff. Considering the above, SARC through the support of BRC and partners is soliciting bids for a financial accounting software. The purchase of the financial accounting system shall be inclusive of the planning, implementation, hardware requirement, storage, backup mechanism and training phases applicable to the software. Successful applicants will be contacted to submit against the full tender process and upon successful completion of this they will then be awarded the contract. The 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. The contract resulting from the full tender process 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 in order to ensure the software is fully integrated with the NS, 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/3bc1fb8d-4cb6-4642-866b-ca74d684c7e9 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Jul 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 28 Aug 2017 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Sep 2017 - 29 Sep 2018 | | 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 | Planned | | 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 - 48442000 - Financial systems software package - 72212440 - Financial analysis and accounting software development services - 72212441 - Financial analysis software development services - 72212442 - Financial systems software development services ## Release History - 18 Jul 2017 at 16:45 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3bc1fb8d-4cb6-4642-866b-ca74d684c7e9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3bc1fb8d-4cb6-4642-866b-ca74d684c7e9 18th July 2017 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL145455 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.
