Technical requirements: The successful implementation within the CA is essential to change the organisation, culture and ways of working. The current finance, HR and payroll technology being used by the CA has been in place for many years. The CA’s activities have changed and are growing significantly.

It should drive operational efficiency in processes which have been reviewed as part of the planning for the ICS. The Invitation to Tender will be published 12 October 2020.

The CA are looking for a modern, cloud-based future-proof ERP solution — a fully interoperable solution across the core functional areas with one or as few products as possible. It should drive operational efficiency in processes which have been reviewed as part of the planning for the ICS. The new ICS should be an enabler for support to customers and partners now and in the future. The three key elements of the project are HR, payroll and finance. There is a desire to have an all in one single solution, although the CA will consider separate modules which will be integrated or one solution which comes pre-integrated. This procurement activity is wholly focused on the selection of the ERP technology to be provided and not an implementation partner. Once the ERP technology is selected further procurement activity will take place to select an implementation partner and support partner. The Invitation to Tender will be published 12 October 2020.
The contract period structure will be undertaken as follows: 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2. This will be subject to internal approval and the Combined Authority reserve the right the abandon this procurement activity at any stage.
