The procurement process involves migrating from the current on-premises version to Unit4's Software as a Service (SaaS) product. The tender, titled "Unit4 Consultancy and Cloud Migration Services," falls under the IT services category and is open for bidding till 12th August 2024. The contract period is set to start on 2nd September 2024 and end on 2nd March 2025, with opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises to participate. This tender by Gedling Borough Council presents an opportunity for IT consulting firms, software developers, and support providers to offer their services in cloud migration. Businesses with expertise in system support services, software consultancy, and computer support services are well-suited to compete. The procurement process, initiated through an open procedure, aims to transition from on-premises solutions to SaaS to ensure ongoing support and operational efficiency for the council's financial operations. ## Notice Gedling Borough Council uses Unit4 Business World (Agresso) as its core financial system. It was originally implemented in 2006 and has been upgraded three times since then, in 2010, 2015 and 2020. The system is currently used for the General Ledger, Budget setting and monitoring, accounts payable and treasury management. Other products are currently relied upon for debtors and HR. In October 2023, Unit4 announced a strategic decision only to provide its products on a Software as a Service (SaaS) basis, and confirmed that from the end of December 2024, support for its on-premises solutions would end. Given the criticality of the finance system to business operations, Gedling Borough Council is looking for support to oversee, drive and enable Cloud migration from our current version 7.6 to Unit 4's SaaS product.
