## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care is conducting a procurement process for "Security and Control Environment Testing of D365 and Interfaces", classified under computer audit and testing services. This initiative, located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region, falls under the open procurement method which was active until April 4, 2019, with a contract value of £110,000. The contract period commenced on May 6, 2019, and is set to continue until May 5, 2021. The tender is part of the implementation of Microsoft D365, a new ERP system critical for processing substantial payments related to the department's operations.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in technical services, particularly those with expertise in computer auditing and security assessment.

## Notice

The Department of Health and Social Care is implementing Microsoft D365 as its new ERP system which will process PS140bn of payments, including payroll and supplier payments. It is business critical that this system has appropriate controls built into to minimise any loss through fraud or error and appropriate segregation of duties to ensure sound management of the Department's finances and information to be held within the system. This procurement is to engage an expert to undertake the testing of the D365 system as configured for DHSC to demonstrate the effectiveness of the interoperability of the security roles, user groups, hierarchies, workflow, policies, authorisation limits and audit logging functionality to provide a sound control environment and appropriate segregation of duties for the Department.
