two.1.4) Short description
Blackpool Council require 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 Service Providers:
-who can demonstrate the required experience, knowledge, skills, capacity, capability and a successful track record for providing the requirements;
-who are capable of developing 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 twosystems 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 Service Providers for Lot 1 and Lot 2. Each Service Provider system must have the ability, through the utilisation of open APIs, to work together to provide a joined-up solution. Service Providers 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.
