As the present system was developed 15+ years ago, it was decided that an assessment of the current system and its associated support and maintenance requirements should be carried out. Following a high-level Business and User Requirements review followed by the compilation of a detailed Statement of Requirements document it was apparent that both user requirements and technology have changed considerably since the current system was initially developed. It is now essential that the current application is replaced with a new up-to-date version which meets current and anticipated future needs. As a result, CITB NI requires a Contractor to design, develop and deploy a cloud based computerised information system that can be utilised by both CITB NI staff and external users (e.g., Employers, Industry Bodies and Customers). All forms of external user communications must be managed via an improved employer/customer portal. The appointed contractor will also be responsible for data migration, hosting, support and maintenance and staff training. See document entitled “ID 4321217 – Specification Schedule” for full details of the requirement. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 48000000, 48600000, 48800000, 72230000, 72600000 - **Delivery regions:** UKN - **Estimated Value:** £810,000 - **Description:** CITB NI relies heavily on its current computer information system (CIS) for the efficient and effective administration of employer levies, grants and training course bookings.
