Wiltshire Council: Oracle ERP Support:

Wiltshire Council’s Oracle Fusion ERP underpins core corporate services across Finance, HCM, SCM, Payroll, EPM, ORC and PaaS. Post‑implementation, support has been split across teams, an incumbent supplier and ad‑hoc consultancy. Through this procurement we intend to move to a single accountable managed service with clear SLAs/KPIs, robust governance (ITIL aligned), and a structured approach to quarterly updates and Redwood UX adoption. Our strategic objectives are to: protect critical operations (payroll and statutory cycles), drive continuous improvement, uplift internal capability through knowledge transfer, and maintain strong compliance (UK GDPR, ISO 27001‑aligned practices).

Purpose of the Event:

To test and refine our draft scope and assumptions; gather market feedback on the proposed operating model; explore approaches to mobilisation, service continuity and transition; discuss approaches to quarterly update management and regression testing; consider security and segregation-of-duties requirements; and capture evidence-based ideas for innovation that deliver measurable value.

Why Providers Should Attend:

• Help shape the final specification, SLAs and evaluation approach before the ITT is issued.
• Share transition and mobilisation best practice that protects live operations, including payroll cut‑offs.
• Showcase relevant Oracle Fusion credentials and public‑sector case studies.
• Gain early sight of our indicative timeline and commercial assumptions, enabling resource planning.
• Ask clarification questions and understand where your propositions can add value (e.g., cost avoidance, capability uplift, automation).
