## Summary

The procurement process pertains to the implementation of a Warehouse Management System (WMS) upgrade by The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS). This project falls under the health industry and is located in Larkhall, South Lanarkshire, UK. The procurement was conducted using a limited method, specifically through an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, primarily due to the exclusive rights held by the supplier, JDA Software. The award for this contract was signed on 25th November 2019, and the total contract value is £338,000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for larger firms that specialise in supply chain management and IT solutions, particularly those experienced with warehouse systems implementations. Given that the contract was specifically awarded to JDA Software due to their intellectual property rights, businesses with innovative solutions or capabilities in integrating cloud-based warehouse management could explore future collaborations or provide support in related areas.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The current WMS provider JDA has provided a solution to upgrade the legacy version of the WMS to its latest 2018 version. This upgrade would centre on an estimated 25 week timeframe (4 week mobilisation and 21 week project start to finish). To support this project and the align resource to the areas requested by JDA it will be essential that NP can resource the project management skill level to lead its project team, whilst working in partnership with the JDA team, in addition, significant levels of operational team support will be required throughout the project period with the final stages of UAT and all the WMS operators requiring training in system or process changes / enhancements. NP intent is to have an upgraded WMS hosted via a new cloud platform fully implemented and operational within the 19/20 period. There is a fundamental need for NP to have a fully functional and, similarly important, a fully supported WMS. The WMS is the core driver of all operational activity within the NDC, moreover, its linkage/interface with other associated systems used for Health Board orders, supplier replenishment orders and financial controls make this system critical to the NP supply of goods to all NHS Scotland Health Boards.
