## Summary

Renfrewshire Council has concluded a public procurement process for the appointment of a Business World Specialist to support the ongoing development of its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Located in Paisley, Renfrewshire, this tender is within the services category, specifically targeting general public services. Using an open procurement method, the process has advanced from tender to award, culminating in a contract valued at £800,000 with Hennessy IT Consulting Limited. The procurement was conducted under an accelerated procedure due to the impending end of the previous contract on 30th June 2019, and it requires the new specialist role to commence on 1st July 2019. Key dates included bid submissions by 7th May 2019 and an award notice issued on 27th August 2025.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for IT consulting firms experienced in ERP systems, notably Agresso Unit 4 – Business World. The contract supports not only the basic operation but also the development of enhanced functionalities and software upgrades, presenting opportunities for businesses specialising in ICT services and ERP systems. SMEs with expertise in these areas, like Hennessy IT Consulting Limited, which successfully secured the contract, are well-positioned to benefit from such procurement exercises. The structured timeframe and the extension option until June 2023 also provide a stable long-term collaboration opportunity.
