## Summary

The procurement process for Transport for London (TfL) involves a contract for the SAP S/4HANA RISE solution, awarded directly to SAP (UK) LIMITED. This contract addresses the need to transition from TfL's existing ERP system, SAP ECC 6, which will be unsupported beyond December 2027. As a central government authority located in London, TfL is undertaking this procurement under a direct award method due to the highly customised nature of its ERP system. The contract has been signed, and the implementation period spans from 23rd June 2025 to 22nd June 2032. The procurement falls within the industry category of enterprise resource planning software and related IT services, with key documents and legal bases ensuring the alignment with regulatory requirements.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses specialising in ERP solutions, particularly those experienced in custom solutions and cloud-based architectures. As TfL transitions to a new ERP system with improved data management and analytics capabilities, businesses capable of providing supplementary services around SAP S/4HANA could find opportunities in offering additional modules, customisations, or training services. Large-scale IT service providers, especially those already recognised as SAP partners, will find themselves well-positioned to engage with TfL in enhancing the ERP environment throughout its lifecycle.

## Notice

The project is for the procurement of SAP's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) cloud-based solution 'RISE with SAP'. This are business-critical applications to provide TfL's core backoffice business functions of finance, procurement and supply chain management and logistics. TFL's current ERP system (called 'SAP ECC 6'), which is provided by SAP, will no longer be supported after December 2027. TfL proposes to make a direct award to SAP (the same provider) of a contract to provide a new ERP system 'RISE with SAP', giving access to SAP applications supported by SAP S/4HANA and built on a hosted SaaS-like architecture which is fully maintained by SAP and provides for improved data management and analytics/reporting. TfL is purchasing subscriptions to different modules provided either as 'Private Cloud Tailored Option' or public cloud services.

### Procurement Information

* TfL's current Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution and its critical modules (for example Shift Planning, SAP Payroll and the HANA Database) are heavily customised to meet TfL's specific requirements and, without update or replacement, will be unsupportable after the end of 2027. * TfL's reliance on the SAP-based ERP system and the operational and business-critical modules mentioned above mean that they must be updated, or replaced, so that they are supported in the long term. * SAP will in future no longer be providing such support to its customers other than those with "RISE with SAP" beyond 23 December 2027. * Although there is potential for SAP's resellers to provide the RISE with SAP product, this is conditional on their being approved by SAP. In addition, any reseller would commercially only be likely to provide those services if TfL were to commit to additional "wrap-around" services at extra cost (plus general on-costs). * To use a reseller would also be sub-optimal as it would add an extra layer of contract management, together with the costs of unnecessary additional services, to the wider S/4HANA project for which it is proposed that RISE with SAP is used. * Given that TfL's SAP ERP estate and components are highly customised, SAP's associated experience and know-how in supporting TfL specifically is unique. Accordingly, TfL has no option but to move from its current ECC 6 to a S4/HANA ERP solution via RISE with SAP to ensure that business-critical ERP tools, such as Shift Planning and SAP payroll, remain interoperable and can be supported in future. * The facts explained above mean that any competition for the RISE with SAP product is effectively absent.
