This procurement is at the Award stage, following a limited procurement method aimed at quickly extending contracts with Anchorstone Consulting to meet imminent project deadlines. Key deliverables, including the implementation of SuccessFactors modules, are targeted for completion by April/May 2022 for Phase 1 and by July/August 2022 for Phase 2. Additional details include the award value of approximately £1,307,280, with a date of finalisation recorded as 31 January 2022. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in HR transformation and technology integration. Companies that specialise in business change, management consultancy, and software solutions aligned with HR systems would be well-positioned to compete. The expedited procurement process with Anchorstone Consulting indicates a streamlined path for businesses keen on contributing to Coventry University's critical HR initiatives while also aiding in the university's goal of maintaining project timelines efficiently. ## Notice This is a VEAT notice to show our intention to award a contract to Anchorstone Consulting for the delivery of the remaining elements of Coventry University Group's HR Transformation Programme, including the design, build, test and implementation of SuccessFactors modules and embedding the business change across the organisation. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Following the departure, by mutual agreement, of PA Consulting who were originally awarded the contract to deliver the HR transformational change at Coventry University Group, there is now an immediate need to progress at pace the remaining elements of the Programme with Anchorstone Consulting staff in order to protect the Programme's set objectives and anticipated benefits. Consultancy services from Anchorstone Consulting have previously been procured to support the Business Change and readiness deliverables, Anchorstone resource have also been involved in the recent technical design handover from PA Consulting due to the need for specific SuccessFactors Consultancy expertise. They have reviewed and validated the solution design work undertaken so far to ensure the Programme requirements have been met. Anchorstone Consultuing also have a clear understanding of the detailed activities required to fully implement the Programme. CUG is now at a critical stage of delivery with the target date of delivering Employee Central, Payroll, ASK HR and SAP JAM for May 2022 followed quickly by Phase 2 deliverables (Learning, Succession, Talent, Performance and Compensation.) The Programme is in the middle of User Acceptance Testing and about to embark on Parallel Payroll running. From an efficiency and effectiveness perspective it would be beneficial for CUG to seek to extend the resource profile from Anchorstone Consulting to deliver the remaining elements of the Programme, this is due to their in-depth knowledge already gained. Any delay in pausing this Programme in order to go through a full procurement process would be detrimental to Coventry University Group, as this would result in further delay in the delivery of the Programme, resulting in additional costs being incurred, there is also a significant risk of losing internal staff and knowledge gained already on the Programme. SuccessFactors Modules to be fully designed, built, tested and Implemented in two phases: Phase 1: Employee Central, Payroll, Recruitment, Onboarding ASK HR, SAP JAM, Reporting. Target date is April/May 2022. Phase 2: Performance and Goal Management, Succession & Development, Learning, Compensation. Target date is July/August 2022. Note: Workforce Analytics and Qualtrics are expected to be designed, built and tested by our current software Partner NTT. ### Procurement Information Following the departure, by mutual agreement, of PA Consulting who were originally awarded the contract to deliver the HR transformational change at Coventry University Group, there is now an immediate need to progress at pace the remaining elements of the Programme with Anchorstone Consulting staff in order to protect the Programme's set objectives and anticipated benefits.
