This procurement falls under the financial systems software industry category, and it is currently in the planning stage. The engagement end date for this RFI is set for 23 February 2018, and interested vendors can register on the Bravo Solutions eTendering portal to participate in this process. The Library is located in Boston Spa, Wetherby, England, using postal code LS23 7BQ. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in financial systems and software solutions to showcase their offerings. Companies with expertise in developing financial information systems would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, as the British Library seeks to replace its current finance system with a streamlined solution that supports key financial processes. Businesses that can deliver tailored solutions and understand the needs related to order management and multi-currency transactions will find potential for growth within this procurement opportunity. ## Notice The Library currently offers a number of priced services via multiple sales channels and order fulfilment systems. Customers can pay on Account (billing or deposit), by Card or by IFM (a third-party banker type function), in multiple currencies. The total number of transactions handled per year is c. 450k. In addition to standard key financial processes, to support priced services, the Library's corporate Finance System, Oracle e-Business suite (EBS), is responsible for numerous processes. This functionality and the data to support it, is currently customised and mastered within the Finance System. However, the Library is seeking to replace its Finance System and has chosen to replace it with a solution that will support standard key financial processes only. The Library therefore requires a solution, to fill the gap. Hence this RFI is intended to identify how products in the market place can help us do this. We need to know what technologies/services might be suitable and what the likely costs of their implementation might be.
