The tender, titled "Early Engagement for new Financial Management System," is crucial for ensuring the organisation can efficiently manage its 6,500 homes and £44 million turnover. Key dates include pre-market engagement sessions scheduled for 8th and 9th February 2017, with an engagement end date set for 23rd February 2018. Interested businesses are urged to register for these sessions to demonstrate their products in alignment with the project's timeline. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially software providers specialising in financial analysis and accounting systems. Companies with an established reputation or innovative solutions will be well-suited to compete, as the Alliance Homes Group is seeking a comprehensive financial management package along with support for installation and testing. By participating in this tender process, prospective suppliers can engage directly with the Alliance Homes Group to better understand their needs and enhance their offerings, setting the stage for potential business growth within the social housing sector. ## Notice The Alliance Homes Group is a community based social housing provider operating in the West of England. We currently own and manage around 6,500 homes and employ 500 staff, have an annual turnover of PS44 million and work in partnership with local, regional and national agencies to deliver our services.

For more information on the Group structure, please see the latest copy of our Corporate Plan which is attached, or check out our website, www.alliancehomes.org.uk . The Group is planning to procure and install a new financial management system to replace its existing offering. The proposed contract will seek to secure the required financial management package and includes full support in the installation, testing and go live stages later in the process. Tenders will be welcomed from both well-established and innovative providers through an Open procurement process, with an aim to have the system purchased, installed and fully tested to go live on 2nd April 2018. For more information on our core requirements and proposed timetable, please see the guidance notes attached to this notification. We are inviting prospective tenderers to come and meet with us for a two hour pre-market engagement session, where we would like to see a soft demonstration of your product and find out more about what is available within the market place and how this fits in with our requirements. It is also an excellent opportunity for potential tenderers to find out more about the organisation and whether the tender opportunity is something they would wish to pursue further once it has been published. These sessions will take place on 8th and 9th February 2017, however, spaces will be limited. To register your interest, please email michelle.butler@alliancehomes.org.uk before Monday 30th January 2017 listing the names, email addresses and job titles of each person who would potentially be attending from your organisation (maximum of two people from each organisation) and whether you have any specific requirements.
