Description

JNCC is looking to replace its overall Corporate Systems by April 2023. This is to strengthen corporate planning, reporting and audit processes and to bring them in line with the Agency's needs. Resource availability and planning processes are the focus of JNCCs development priorities in this area.

This project is the first stage in the replacement process and aims to capture the organisational needs in this area. The successful contractor is expected to aid Corporate Services, assisted by the Digital and Data Solutions team, in performing an analysis of current processes from a functional perspective and translating them into a series of requirements for potential solution providers to bid against. This is part of a wider programme to modernise and strengthen JNCC's information management systems.

JNCC are looking to invest in Corporate Systems in the medium term. Currently, JNCC has the following Corporate Systems that are considered in scope:

• Kypera is Finance's key management system. A project that attempted to upgrade Kypera has failed. The software manufacturer, effectively, has reached the 'end-of-life' for the product.

• OpenHR which serves HR needs and covers most HR functions. OpenHR is the most resilient of the systems under review, and Advanced (the manufacturer) are transitioning to CloudHR, a primarily Software-as-a-Service solution.

• Planning is currently Excel based, with only manual linkages between data sources. This ad-hoc system is time intensive, prone to mistakes, and requires more clarity.

To apply:

1 electronic copy to be sent to TenderResponse@jncc.gov.uk
