Provision of a Fully Integrated Finance, Human Resources and Payroll Suite

Tender description

The University wishes to establish a contract with a company for the provision, implementation and ongoing support and maintenance of a fully integrated Finance, Human Resources and Payroll Suite. It is anticipated that the University will establish a contract for an initial period of 10 years with the option to extend for a further 5 years up to a maximum of 15 years. The University has ambitious plans to be a leading global university. In order to achieve this it needs modern, flexible systems that support efficient processes, effective decision making and provide meaningful management information. The proposed replacement of our core HR, Payroll and Finance systems presents the opportunity to substantially re-design core business processes and acts as a catalyst for broader change in how the University operates. This provides scope for efficiency savings and improved resource allocation towards key priority areas. Replacement of HR/Payroll and Finance systems will create a new platform and key business processes to support the University over the next 10-15 years. The new systems, supported by business process re-engineering, will deliver more efficient and effective processes, that are more responsive to changing legislation, offer enhanced flexibility to meet user needs and be technologically more resilient. These new processes and improved use of technology will require less administrative support, therefore reducing cost and enabling resources to be re-deployed.
