## Summary

Cherwell District Council is seeking suppliers for a new Financial Management System, intending to replace its current system. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a supplier engagement event scheduled for either 25 or 26 July 2019. The engagement will end on 12 July 2019. This initiative falls under the software package and information systems industry category, with the delivery location in the South East region of the United Kingdom. Interested vendors are encouraged to review the early engagement notice published on 20 June 2019 for further details.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in financial software solutions, particularly those that can offer established systems requiring minimal customisation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the engagement aims to foster collaboration and innovation. Suppliers attending the Supplier Day will have the chance to demonstrate their systems and align their offerings with the specific needs of Cherwell District Council and its partner organisations.

## Notice

Cherwell District Council (CDC) is considering the replacement of the current Financial System with an established finance system which meets the needs of users across the business and requires little, or no customisation. The system must cater for the Authority but will also need to accommodate requirements for current and any future organisations which are created by the Authority and/or its partners. At this time CDC would like to invite suppliers of appropriate solutions to a 'Supplier Day' on 25 July or 26 July 2019, to share information about the Council's position and to offer the opportunity to provide a high-level overview of their current systems. Additional information: Please read Information Document and follow instructions if you are interested in attending.
