Provision of a Finance Solution and Associated Services to the Northern Ireland Assembly Commission

The Northern Ireland Assembly Commission has published a planned procurement notice (not yet a call for competition) for a standalone finance solution and associated services, separate from its planned HR and payroll procurement. The scope covers software, configuration, data migration, integration, training and ongoing support for core finance functions (general ledger, budgeting, payables and receivables, purchase-to-pay, VAT, fixed assets, reporting), plus parliamentary needs such as Member and political party payments and claims. The estimated value is £1.1M excluding VAT over an 8-year contract, and the Commission intends to rely on the notice to allow a reduced tendering period.
