## Summary

SRUC, based in Edinburgh, is in the tender stage of procuring a fully supported ERP system, aimed at replacing their existing financial and procurement management system with a SaaS solution. This contract, valued at £3,000,000, is classified under the industry category of Software package and information systems. The objective is to modernise and enhance operational financial processes and integrate them with other systems within the UK. The open procedure procurement, compliant with EU regulations, requires submissions by 12th June 2026, and the contract will run for five years with potential extensions. The tender process involves the submission of the Single Procurement Document and appropriate accreditations, with tender evaluations focusing on functionality, capability, and price.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in ERP implementation, particularly those with capabilities in financial software systems, strategic planning, and integration services. Consequently, IT firms that are ISO27001 accredited with robust liability insurances, and those offering consultancy for system configuration and implementation, are well-positioned to compete. With the contract aimed at modernising SRUC’s systems and delivering strategic benefits across teaching, research, and commercial activities, companies with a proven track record in delivering comprehensive SaaS solutions for the higher education and research sectors are especially advantageous contenders.

## Notice
