How to win: Finance System Replacement

About this contract

Citizen Housing Group is undertaking preliminary market engagement to inform a potential procurement of a replacement finance system. The proposed objectives are to strengthen financial controls, streamline processing, improve organisation's reporting and provide reliable information for decision-making. The scope and objectives remain subject to confirmation and refinement through market engagement. A Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model is currently anticipated. Suppliers are invited to explain their approach to functionality, integration, data migration, reporting, implementation, ongoing support and maintenance, together with delivery timescales and the resources required from the contracting authority. Additionally, market engagement will inform affordability and an indicative whole-life cost estimate, including implementation, subscriptions, support, maintenance and potential extensions. The initial contract term and any extension options remain under consideration. If this is a service your organisation can provide, please contact our Procurement Team at [email protected] to register your interest and be added to our mailing list for future procurement
