## Summary

The University of Central Lancashire is planning a procurement process titled "UCLan Unit 4 ERP Cloud Migration" in the IT services category. The opportunity involves exploring options for migrating the existing on-premise Unit 4 ERP system to an externally hosted SAAS platform. The engagement end date for this planning stage is set for the 29th of November 2022. The buying organisation is the University of Central Lancashire located in Preston, England. This exercise is aimed at gaining insights into costs and benefits, with no commercial commitment at this stage.

This tender by the University of Central Lancashire provides an opportunity for IT service providers specialising in Enterprise Resource Planning software packages and related IT services. With a focus on migration to SAAS platforms, suitable businesses would be those offering Unit4 third party hosted solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate in this engagement exercise to support future procurement decisions and business growth.

## Notice

The University of Central Lancashire is inviting engagement from suppliers to assist with exploring options for updating its on-premise Unit 4 ERP system and migrating to an externally hosted SAAS platform. The purpose of this exercise is to gain an understanding of the potential costs and benefits of such a project to inform a future proposal. Any such proposal would be subject to the University's decision processes, therefore this exercise implies no commercial commitment and is not a formal tender. Participation in this exercise or otherwise will not prejudice any future procurement. The requirement will be a high-level assessment of the current system to advise on options for migration to SAAS, likely timescales and estimated costs. At this stage the University is only considering options for a Unit4 system and wishes to engage solely with suppliers of Unit4 third party hosted solutions. Suppliers offering consultancy on its own need not respond.
