This tender, published on 25th October 2017, is currently at the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 15th November 2017. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, targeting the industry of financial systems, particularly for humanitarian organisations. The contract will commence on 11th January 2018 and is expected to last until 10th January 2020, after which it may be renewed on an annual basis for maintenance and further modifications. This opportunity presents a substantial avenue for growth for businesses involved in software development, particularly those focusing on financial systems. Companies that specialise in financial analysis, accounting software development, and project management will find this tender particularly well-suited for their expertise. The successful bidder will not only implement a critical system for SARC but may also collaborate with joint ventures, enhancing their visibility and reputation in the humanitarian sector. ## Notice This Request for Proposal (RFP) is an invitation to companies/firms to submit proposals for a financial accounting software system for the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC). The intent is to obtain information leading to the selection of an appropriate financial accounting system that will best meet the needs of the organization. Respondents who are selected for further consideration will be invited to make an onsite presentation to demonstrate their system. The Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) is an independent humanitarian organisation founded in 1942 under decree No/540/1942 and decree No/117/1966. Its headquarters is in Damascus and it has 14 branches in the fourteen governorates of Syria plus 75 sub-branches. SARC is part of the Red Cross Red Crescent movement which is the world's largest humanitarian network governed by the seven fundamental principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality. The ongoing crisis in Syria coupled with the enormous humanitarian needs in the country has resulted in increased pressure on the financial systems of the SARC. In light of these, the SARC through the support of its partners (Norwegian Red Cross and the British Red Cross), is soliciting bids for a financial accounting software. The successful applicant will enter into a legal contract to provide professional resources including project management, system analysis and design, implementation, configuration and training for the selected financial-accounting software package. Companies/Firms can bid as individual companies or as joint ventures provided that in the joint ventures, the company leading the joint venture (Joint Venture Lead) must be clearly identified and details of the competencies of the Joint Venture partners must be clearly stated. Joint venture agreements between the joint venture lead company may be required if selected detailing the nature and extents of the joint venture. The contract resulting from this RFP is intended to result in the design, installation, implementation of a fully-functional financial accounting software system, and provide on-going support and maintenance including the cost for module adjustment where necessary. The length of the contract shall be for an initial period of one year to ensure the software is fully integrated with SARC, after which the contract shall be renewed on an annual basis for maintenance and changes to software design. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0c9809e3-ce83-42c0-ac8b-872d5d900ef8 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Oct 2017 | | Submission deadline | 15 Nov 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Jan 2018 - 10 Jan 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRITISH RED CROSS | | Locality | PAISLEY | | Post town | Paisley | | Postcode | PA1 1EA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM33 Inverclyde, East Renfrewshire, and Renfrewshire | | Local authority | Renfrewshire | | Electoral ward | Paisley East and Central | | Westminster constituency | Paisley and Renfrewshire South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 66 - Financial and insurance services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 48440000 - Financial analysis and accounting software package - 48442000 - Financial systems software package - 66000000 - Financial and insurance services - 72212440 - Financial analysis and accounting software development services - 72212441 - Financial analysis software development services - 72212442 - Financial systems software development services - 79212100 - Financial auditing services ## Release History - 25 Oct 2017 at 13:04 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0c9809e3-ce83-42c0-ac8b-872d5d900ef8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0c9809e3-ce83-42c0-ac8b-872d5d900ef8 25th October 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT147994 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.redcross.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
