## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process for an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution, under the industry category of software packages and information systems (CPV code 48000000). The council seeks to engage with potential suppliers to gain insights into available solutions and indicative pricing as part of their market assessment. This initiative is not a procurement but an opportunity for early engagement with the industry to inform decision-making. Key milestones include an engagement end date set for 8th August 2025. The project is tied to the location of Northampton, England, with the delivery address postcode NN1 1ED.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in ERP solutions to offer their expertise and innovative products. Particularly, SMEs and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises) are considered suitable to engage in this preliminary stage. By participating, businesses can influence the project direction and position themselves as early contenders for any forthcoming formal procurement, potentially leading to substantial growth through collaboration with West Northamptonshire Council.

## Notice

We are currently seeking to understand indicative supplier pricing for a Enterprise Resource Planning. The purpose of this document is to engage suppliers to better understand available solutions as part of market assessment, not procurement, so that their expertise can be fed into the project from the outset. It can also benefit West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) by providing an understanding of available products in the market and the indicative costs.
