Description

The Senedd has a requirement to put in place a support contract to cover a variety of areas of its’ Microsoft Dynamics Business Central system. The contract will be for a 5-year period, with the option to extend for a further 5 years, commencing on 1st January 2024. The aim of this contract is to appoint a support partner to work with the Senedd Commission and maintain Business Central for the day to day operations of The Senedd, and potentially looking to move us to the SAAS version of the system in the medium to longer term. The partner will also need be able to support the Members expense claim element of the system which is key to business continuity and to servicing our requirement to record and publish Members expense claims. The system also has elements (for example the screen to raise Purchase Orders) which are bilingual (English and Welsh). The successful supplier will need to be able to support any changes to these elements as and when they occur (supported by the Translation department of The Senedd).
