## Summary

The Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) is inviting tenders for the provision of planful support, related to software implementation services. The tender, with ID BIP762778517, aims to secure a replacement consultant to complete a system project with a contract value of GBP 100,000. The procurement method is a selective procedure with a tender deadline of 2nd March 2023. The contract is expected to start on 15th March 2023 and run until 15th March 2026, creating opportunities for SMEs in the services sector.

This tender by RSSB presents an opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in software implementation services to grow their business through securing a substantial contract. Businesses based in the UK, European countries, and other regions listed can participate. With a contract value of GBP 100,000, this opportunity requires capable firms to bid competitively and demonstrate their ability to provide planful support services over the three-year contract period, starting in March 2023.

## Notice

RSSB have been running a project to implement Planful since mid 2022, supported by a 3rd party consultant. We were able to go live in November 2022 for the start of our budgeting cycle, but with a very basic system - much of the functionality was not ready and we had no time for business training, so data was collected and entered by the Finance team. In December our consultant took a strategic decision to exit the market, and we are looking for a replacement to support the completion of the project, and ongoing continual development. RSSB follows a quarterly forecasting process, so the system will next be used for the q1 forecast, starting July 2023. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
