Description

The University of Central Lancashire is inviting engagement from suppliers to assist with exploring options for updating its on-premise Unit 4 ERP system and migrating to an externally hosted SAAS platform. The purpose of this exercise is to gain an understanding of the potential costs and benefits of such a project to inform a future proposal. Any such proposal would be subject to the University's decision processes, therefore this exercise implies no commercial commitment and is not a formal tender. Participation in this exercise or otherwise will not prejudice any future procurement.

The requirement will be a high-level assessment of the current system to advise on options for migration to SAAS, likely timescales and estimated costs. At this stage the University is only considering options for a Unit4 system and wishes to engage solely with suppliers of Unit4 third party hosted solutions. Suppliers offering consultancy on its own need not respond.
