Enterprise Resource Planning for the future Soft Market testing

Tender description

<p>GCC is looking to procure a cloud based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to replace the current SAP on-premise solution. GCC currenly runs SAP ERP solution on premise covering Finance, HR, payroll and procurement and self service for managers and employees. The solution has under-pinned the operation of the Council for over 13 years. We have implemented SAP BWIP (Business Warehouse Integrated Planning) providing an excellent budget monitoring/forecasting solution for our budget managers and have introduced SAP Fiori launch pad and reporting for our schools customers. We have also implemented SAP Concur travel and expenses and SAP Qualtrics to survey staff wellbeing during COVID-19 and we will go live with SAP ILM later this month. We have a current project introducing SAP Success Factors recruitment and on-boarding. The (mostly) vanilla SAP implementation is supplemented by a range of e-forms from Arch. Whilst the basic functionality for Finance and Procurement meets the current business requirements the Council is particularly keen to improve the HR and self service functionality and wants to explore enhancements available from cloud based solutions. The current system is out dated and clunky and the Council wants to completely transform the user experience. The current on-premise system will need to be supported and maintained during the implementation, migration and transition to the new SaaS and we would therefore want to contract with a service provider who can offer all these services. Appendix 1 provides information on the use of the current system, including how HR/payroll bureau customers access the solution, number of users etc and other pertinent information which will help you understand the current landscape</p> Keywords: ERP, SAAS, SAP, Enterprise Resource Planning, Oracle
