Tender description

Stafford and Rural Homes (SARH) is the largest social landlord in Stafford. Created on 6.2.2006 to own and manage the former Council housing stock owned by Stafford Borough Council (SBC), we own and manage over 6 000 homes across Stafford and the surrounding area. We also deliver a number of local Independent Living schemes and around 190 staff. SARH are looking for a Finance and P2P solution which will transform the way the organisation currently works. The scope in this procurement is the provision and implementation of a new Finance and P2P solution. The vision of the project is to provide a system that: — Offers market-leading functionality of standard finance department functionality. — Supports the full Purchase to Pay lifecycle. — Utilises workflows to simplify standard processes. — Enables effective and efficient monitoring of departmental budgets by non-finance staff. — Allows flexible reporting to be produced by non-technical staff. — Integrates and interfaces with existing SARH systems. — Encourages managers and budget holders to proactively manage their budgets on a day to day basis without intervention from the Finance team. — Minimises the need for manual systems and data stores to be maintained outside the system.
