This process is currently in the planning stage and is scheduled to conclude with the engagement end date set for 5 June 2019. The procurement is classified under the software package and information systems industry category and is primarily focused on acquiring tools related to vendor management, which includes vendor inventory and performance tools. The relevant audience for this engagement is invited to respond through the YorTender portal, with specific documents and details available on the Council’s website. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software development, IT consultancy, and office support services to provide innovative solutions that enhance vendor management capabilities. Companies that can demonstrate experience in implementing vendor management tools or possess significant expertise in creating IT systems and consultancy could find this engagement particularly advantageous. By engaging with the Council's processes, businesses can position themselves as valuable partners in improving local government operations and potentially secure future contracts. ## Notice The Council is looking to improve on its maturity level within Vendor Management following a Gartner assessment on the current vendor management practices. In order to do this we would like to acquire a Vendor Management tool to cover a range of elements of vendor management including but not limited to vendor inventory to vendor performance. This market engagement will provide information to support a further understanding of the supply market and available options to support its decision making. Interested parties who respond to this market engagement may be invited to attend sessions at the Council's offices for question and answer sessions and/or to demonstrate their solutions. The dates and times of any session will be notified via the YorTender portal.
