University of York HR, Payroll & Finance Transformation Technical Implementation Partner

Descriptions

Call-off agreement under CCS framework RM6193 - Software design and implementation services.

The University is undertaking a transformation of its HR, Payroll, Finance and Procurement functions, across people, process, data and technology. The key drivers for undertaking change at this time are systems reaching the end of licence or support, systems and data constraining organisational agility and labour intensive ways of working. The University intends to embrace an 'adopt not adapt' principle to optimise the use of new technologies to support standardisation, simplification and operational efficiencies.

The University is seeking a Technical Implementation Partner to enable our HR, Payroll, Finance and Procurement transformation programme. The transformation will be enabled with a Tier 1 ERP product.

The University requires direct contract(s) between it and the relevant product vendor, for supply, licence and, if required by the University, maintenance and support. The Technical Implementation Partner will be responsible for providing the vendor's terms and conditions as part of the bid submitted as part of the further competition, and for ensuring the vendor enters into the relevant direct contract(s) with the University. As part of the further competition the University may stipulate requirements for the terms and conditions, such as that the vendor will accept instructions from the Technical Implementation Partner during the Services period.

During the period of time in which the Technical Implementation Partner is providing its Services and the Deliverables, the Technical Implementation Partner will also be solely responsible for instructing and managing the vendor of the Tier 1 ERP product, and related supply chains (including licensors of Licensed Software, and providers of maintenance and support services in relation to Licensed Software, as well as Subcontractors) which are required for the performance of the Services and provision of the Deliverables.
