two.1.4) Short description
The University of Leeds’ existing SAP ECC6 environment has been in place since 1999. Since then, the environment has been added to, extending SAP and expanding the systems supporting HR, Finance and Purchasing with other third-party offerings. This has led to an environment in need of simplification and systemisation. The university now wishes to upgrade to SAP S/4 HANA (to ensure interoperability with current systems to be maintained) and move to a new operating model for business support services which is compatible with the institution’s existing infrastructure.
The university is therefore seeking to procure a reseller/provider of the SaaS SAP S/4 HANA solution, and the services to implement, integrate and configure that solution.
Contract value is expected to be approximately £11m for implementation, with annual recurring charges of approximately £1.5m to £2.5m.
