Published requirement description

The bidding opportunity was for up to 3 Lots comprising:

and optionally,

  • a Microsoft Dynamics-based Asset Management solution (Lot 2);

and

  • Microsoft licensing & related ongoing development support (Lot 3)

  • How the procedure runs: This bidding opportunity is for up to 3 Lots comprising: • the provision of the phased delivery of a Microsoft Dynamics-based Housing Management Solution (Lot 1); and optionally, • a Microsoft Dynamics-based Asset Management solution (Lot 2); and • Microsoft licensing & related ongoing development support (Lot 3) A more detailed description of the requirement is provided within the full suite of bidding documents.
  • No preliminary market engagement: The Project Team have reasonably up-to-date market insight from recent procurements, internal intelligence and past engagements and are reasonably satisfied that the extra time of publishing (and assessing the responses to) a preliminary market engagement notice would add little additional value to a project that is operating within a reasonably tight timeframe.
