## Summary

The University of York has completed a procurement process titled "University of York HR, Payroll & Finance Transformation Technical Implementation Partner," under the tag "award" and "contract." This project pertains to IT services, specifically consulting within the industry category of software design and implementation services, classified under CPV code 72000000. The procurement was conducted as a call-off agreement under the CCS framework RM6193, and the procurement method was limited without prior publication of a call for competition. The process involved transformation of the university's HR, Payroll, Finance, and Procurement functions, utilising a Tier 1 ERP product. Contracts have been awarded to KPMG LLP for "Transformation and Implementation Services" and to Workday Limited for "Licences and training," both signed on 30th September 2025. The main location for the services is UKE21, denoting the region of York, in the United Kingdom.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in ERP solutions, technical implementation and consultancy services, particularly those with capabilities in managing complex software transitions and providing robust support systems. Large enterprises such as KPMG LLP, with expertise in such transformations, and vendors offering Tier 1 ERP products, like Workday Limited, stand to benefit from such contracts. Businesses offering high-quality technical merit and comprehensive aftersales services could find this kind of tender advantageous to their growth, especially those that can deliver organisational change and efficiency improvements through technology. Additionally, enterprises focusing on providing cost-effective solutions with favourable pricing structures and strong support chains are well-suited to participate in similar tenders in the future.

## Notice

Call-off agreement under CCS framework RM6193 - Software design and implementation services. The University is undertaking a transformation of its HR, Payroll, Finance and Procurement functions, across people, process, data and technology. The key drivers for undertaking change at this time are systems reaching the end of licence or support, systems and data constraining organisational agility and labour intensive ways of working. The University intends to embrace an 'adopt not adapt' principle to optimise the use of new technologies to support standardisation, simplification and operational efficiencies. The University is seeking a Technical Implementation Partner to enable our HR, Payroll, Finance and Procurement transformation programme. The transformation will be enabled with a Tier 1 ERP product. The University requires direct contract(s) between it and the relevant product vendor, for supply, licence and, if required by the University, maintenance and support. The Technical Implementation Partner will be responsible for providing the vendor's terms and conditions as part of the bid submitted as part of the further competition, and for ensuring the vendor enters into the relevant direct contract(s) with the University. As part of the further competition the University may stipulate requirements for the terms and conditions, such as that the vendor will accept instructions from the Technical Implementation Partner during the Services period. During the period of time in which the Technical Implementation Partner is providing its Services and the Deliverables, the Technical Implementation Partner will also be solely responsible for instructing and managing the vendor of the Tier 1 ERP product, and related supply chains (including licensors of Licensed Software, and providers of maintenance and support services in relation to Licensed Software, as well as Subcontractors) which are required for the performance of the Services and provision of the Deliverables.
