The procurement falls under the industry category of business services and is in the active tender stage, which will conclude on 2 November 2020. The successful bidder will be required to start work on 24 November 2020, with the contract lasting until 31 December 2022. The procurement method is an open procedure above threshold, inviting a broad range of bidders. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on consulting, training, and business change management, particularly those that can deliver in a governmental context. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, allowing businesses that specialise in transformation projects or have experience with HR and finance systems to showcase their capabilities. The project aims to enhance service delivery within the public sector, making it an attractive prospect for firms seeking to expand their portfolio in governmental contracts. ## Notice The current core and peripheral Human Resources (HR) and Finance Systems of Norfolk County Council (the Authority) have been in place for 14 years and in their current form constrain the transformation of services and delivery of savings. The project to initiate the replacement of these systems was approved by the Authority's Cabinet on 20th May 2019. On 8th April 2020, the Authority procured systems implementation services from Oracle Consulting Services via Insight, and a fully integrated Oracle HR and Finance SaaS solution, including UK local government HR, Finance, Procurement, Payroll, and Analytics functionality. The Implementation Plan has been agreed with a go-live date of November 2021. The Authority is prioritising its work to support achievement of this date. In order for the project to succeed a number of non-technical and non-functional products must be delivered in conjunction with the Implementation Plan, namely: Cloud adoption impact analysis (being delivered by Oracle Consulting Services) Engagement and communications plan (being delivered by Socitm Advisory) Business change delivery (the subject of this procurement) Training (to be planned) Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9d3426dd-cc2f-4b4a-9bf5-8180ea4bd6bb | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Oct 2020 | | Submission deadline | 2 Nov 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 24 Nov 2020 - 31 Dec 2022 | | 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 | NORFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | NORFOLK | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR1 2DH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH5 Norfolk | | ITL 3 | TLH51 Norwich and East Norfolk | | Local authority | Norwich | | Electoral ward | Lakenham | | Westminster constituency | Norwich South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ## Release History - 4 Oct 2020 at 17:13 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9d3426dd-cc2f-4b4a-9bf5-8180ea4bd6bb - 4 Oct 2020 at 17:12 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9d3426dd-cc2f-4b4a-9bf5-8180ea4bd6bb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9d3426dd-cc2f-4b4a-9bf5-8180ea4bd6bb 4th October 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/norfolkcc/aspx/ Additional information on how to apply for this contract ## Notice URLs - http://www.norfolk.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
