This contract aims to support its Microsoft Dynamics Business Central system over a 5-year period with the potential for a 5-year extension, starting on 1st January 2024. The Senedd seeks a partner to manage day-to-day operations, support Members' expense claims and bilingual elements, and potentially transition to a SAAS version. The procurement method used is selective with a main procurement category of services. This opportunity offers businesses the chance to provide specialised support services to a public body, ensuring the smooth functioning of critical systems. Companies experienced in supporting Business Central and providing bilingual solutions are well-suited to compete. The contract presents a significant business growth opportunity for service providers in Wales, offering a stable long-term engagement with clear service expectations and potential for contract extension. ## Notice The Senedd has a requirement to put in place a support contract to cover a variety of areas of its' Microsoft Dynamics Business Central system.
