Business transaction and personal business software package

Tender description

Walsall Council would like to explore what level of interest there is within the market to deliver either a standalone Human Resources and Development (HRD) system or an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that combines HRD and Financial systems that will generate performance improvements and cost savings for the Council. Providers and implementers of these systems are asked to respond to the Request for Information by 12 noon on 6.1.2017. MHR iTrent, the current Human Resources and Development (HRD) system which supports HRD transactional processing including payroll and self service capabilities, comes to the end of its current contractual arrangement in July 2018 and although there is the opportunity to extend the contract the Council wishes to carry out a review to determine whether this is an appropriate system that matches the Council's needs going forward. Managed support for the council's finance system Oracle E-Business Suite Financials also reaches end of contract in December 2018. The relative contemporaneous contract timelines of both of these corporate systems provides an opportunity to assess if performance improvements and cost savings could be achieved by replacing both the HRD and Finance systems with a single Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution.
