    Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

    The overall aim is to purchase, by an open competitive procedure, as software as a service, a fully integrated procurement software suite that will add value to the procurement team and the wider organisation. The software should be intuitive and easy to use reducing customer ordering time and procurement engagement on low value transnational tasks. In addition to freeing up valuable resources, the software will support the procurement team to dedicating more time to value add activities.

    It is desired that the proposed fully integrated software solution as a service should currently be available in live use as a commodity service to the fullest extent possible in order to reduce the amount of configuration required and the associated costs and risks that come with more bespoke solutions. However, the Authority accepts that elements of configuration may be required in order to meet its requirements and the tender documents address this. It is also a requirement that the integrated procurement solution shall interface with Trusts finance system (Capita IBS Integra Financials) at the Accounts Payable stage. Flows of data back to the integrated solution from the Trusts finance system shall be required.

    The agreement shall commence on signature of the contract document and the subscription services shall be for the period of 84 months (7 years) from the commencement date (Go Live Date).

    The objective of the tender exercise is to source one provider and procurement package, of software as a service, for the provision of a complete end to end procurement solution which will deliver integrated P2P, eSourcing, contracts management, spend and KPI reporting.

    The Supplier should have experience in the provision of fully integrated procurement, purchase to pay (“P2P”), eSourcing, and contracts management, software as a service solutions in the context of organisations that are subject to the EU public procurement rules.

    Documents relating to this procurement are available from the EU-Supply.com portal.
