This project falls within the health industry and is being conducted in Edinburgh, UK. It is currently in the planning stage, with a planned future notice date of 3rd April 2018. The total contract value is estimated at £4 million, and this procurement process has been classified under services, specifically focusing on software as a service (SaaS) products covering HR, payroll, and finance. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in cloud-based solutions, particularly those offering SaaS products that can integrate HR, payroll, and financial systems. Companies with expertise in modernising back-office services through technology and those capable of delivering scalable, user-friendly applications would be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this procurement process can help firms establish partnerships with a major public sector entity, thereby expanding their market presence in the healthcare sector. ## Notice NHS Scotland will transform its business systems using modern digital delivery, in order to encourage automation, self-service and collaboration, provide better access to a single source of data and analytics, improve user experience and reduce time spent on administration, freeing-up staff to focus on value-adding activities. To achieve this vision, it is proposed that a core suite of software as a service products (SaaS) are procured and implemented that cover HR, payroll and finance. These products will be procured as a suite because it is essential that they are fully interfaced with single points of data entry and single points of truth. This PIN has been placed to gather market intelligence in this area. ### Lot Information Lot 1 NHS Scotland will transform its business systems using modern digital delivery, in order to encourage automation, self-service and collaboration, provide better access to a single source of data and analytics, improve user experience and reduce time spent on administration, freeing-up staff to focus on value-adding activities. To achieve this vision, it is proposed that a core suite of software as a service products (SaaS) are procured and implemented that cover HR, payroll and finance. These products will be procured as a suite because it is essential that they are fully interfaced with single points of data entry and single points of truth. The vision is to use SaaS products, accessed through a vendor's cloud, in order to benefit from continuous improvements and upgrades as well as enabling products and data to be accessible to whoever has authorisation, regardless of the sector in which they work, or the nature of their employer. This opens the potential for data to be shared far more easily across organisational boundaries. It is proposed that the core suite of SaaS products will be configured collectively; based on standard, best in breed business processes; in a way that will improve the quality and reduce the cost of 'back office' services. This PIN has been developed to engage suppliers interested in delivering a SaaS ERP solution to help identify the current trends and best practice in HR, Payroll and Finance processes, implementing and realising the benefits of a SaaS ERP solution and to identify approaches and technologies that could be deployed as part of a national solution. This PIn has been placed to allow us to gather market information.
