## Summary

Herefordshire Council is seeking proposals for the provision of consultancy services to support the implementation of Microsoft Power BI, intended to enhance the council's business intelligence capabilities. This tender, classified under software package and information systems, is currently in the Tender stage, with a published deadline for submissions on 16th December 2020. The total estimated value of the contract is £20,000, and services are to be delivered within the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The contract period is set to commence on 15th January 2021 and conclude on 29th January 2021.

This invitation to tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT consultancy, software development, and data analytics. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in Microsoft Power BI and experience in delivering similar projects would be well positioned to compete effectively. The drive to modernise the council's data handling through interactive dashboards offers a lucrative avenue for growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises focused on innovative technology solutions.

## Notice

Herefordshire Council wishes to procure Microsoft Power BI to support its production of business intelligence across the council. Currently the council develops much of its business intelligence by extracting data from core IT products (such as Mosaic (Servelec), CIVICA, Business World etc.), manipulating in excel, and shares via email. This approach is of course time consuming, at risk of inaccuracies and doesn't allow for easy analysis by those in analyst roles, or end users of information. The council now wants to develop the approach using MS Power BI to offer additional insight to service areas using interactive dashboards, potentially located on intranet/internet pages, building these capabilities with existing substantive staff. Additional information: Notice withdrawn due to service being reviewed by commissioner.
