This tender falls under the category of computer support and consultancy services and is located in Walsall, West Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender submission deadline set for 14th May 2017. The estimated contract value is £140,000, with a minimum value of £20,000, and the contract period is expected to commence on 12th June 2017 and conclude on 31st March 2019. This opportunity presents potential growth avenues for businesses specialising in ERP consultancy services, particularly those that are able to deliver a comprehensive functional specification for cloud-based solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this tender particularly suitable, as they can provide tailored, innovative approaches to support Walsall Council's transition to a more efficient ERP system that integrates HRD and financial systems, ultimately enabling the Council to achieve significant performance improvements and cost savings. ## Notice The Council wishes to engage a consultant that can provide the Council with a documented full functional specification for a cloud based ERP solution and other support to assist in the procurement process. As there is the opportunity for the consultant to be involved in the tender process the organisation awarded this contract will be prohibited from being involved in the implementation of the resulting ERP system. Walsall Council is considering the procurement and implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that combines HRD and Financial systems that will generate performance improvements and cost savings for the Council. MHR iTrent, the current Human Resources and Development (HRD) system which supports HRD transactional processing including payroll and self service capabilities, comes to the end of its current contractual arrangement in July 2018 although there is the opportunity to extend the contract the Council. Managed support for the council's finance system Oracle E-Business Suite Financials also reaches end of contract in December 2018. The relative contemporaneous contract timelines of both of these corporate systems provides an opportunity to assess if performance improvements and cost savings could be achieved by replacing both the HRD and Finance systems with a single Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution.
