A link to the opportunity is included below. Please direct any questions about this tender via the supplier portal. Blackpool Council requires implementation and data migration services, software, and ongoing maintenance and support of the software for: • Lot 1 - HR and Payroll system and • Lot 2 - Finance Management system (including eProcurement). The Authority is seeking interest from Suppliers: • who can demonstrate the required experience, knowledge, skills, capacity, capability and a successful track record for providing the requirements; • who can develop cost-effective solutions to help the Authority meet its current and future objectives; • who have open systems, with flexible and open APIs, which enable easy integration between these two systems and any other systems the Council might utilise; • who can deliver all the Council's requirements within the context of any other commitments; and • who can provide a solution within the Council's affordability envelope. The Council is seeking separate bids and is intending to enter into separate contracts with Suppliers for Lot 1 and Lot 2. Each Supplier system must have the ability, through the utilisation of open APIs, to work together to provide a joined-up solution. Suppliers are not precluded from submitting proposals for both lots. Responses are welcome for all potential options for delivery including cloud or internally hosted but the Councils' preferred solution is one which makes use of open standards to ensure technology works and communicates with other technology and can easily be upgraded and expanded. - Lot 1 HR & Payroll - Implementation will be required from September 2020 to meet an anticipated Go-Live date of early Spring 2022. Contract Dates - the initial contract term will be 10 years which may (subject to budget and satisfactory performance review) be extended for a further 5 years. - Lot 2 Finance including eProcurement - Implementation will be required from September 2021 to meet an anticipated Go-Live date of 1st April 2023.
