## Notice

Procurement of a Project Manager to oversee the deployment and implementation and embedding of the new finance system.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

QMU have procured a new ERP Finance Software solution. For the project's next phases, QMU requires a Project Manager to implement the deployment and embedding of the new system and associated processes.

### Procurement Information

In compiling the statement of requirements for the next phase, it has become apparent that the consulting Project Manager will need in-depth knowledge of QMU's existing culture and processes and procedures across the whole finance and department as well as in-depth knowledge of Unit 4's ERP Finance Software. Although multiple organisations may have experience with Unit 4's systems, the technical knowledge regarding QMU's internal finance operations currently only exists with the proposed Consultant through their work in the first phase. It is determined that the Consultant's unique technical knowledge of QMU's finance policies, processes, procedures, and culture would lead to a lack of competition should a public procurement be conducted and therefore qualifies QMU to implement the negotiated procedure without prior publication process in accordance with Regulation 33(1)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
