Supply Treasury Management System

Description of the contract

Southern Housing Group (SHG) is seeking expressions of interest from companies who are able to provide an online Treasury Management System (TMS).

At this time SHG is only asking if companies wish to express an interest in this project. Please note that at this stage there is no guarantee that there will be a competition or that any work will be provided.

Background

The Group require a proven and robust non-bespoke treasury system which is supportable (both from a query and IT perspective). The system needs to be externally hosted and “live” in an operating environment that provides for working hours availability and a safe business continuity/disaster recovery platform. Currently, information and data regarding the Group’s treasury are held on a series of stand alone spreadsheets. A Treasury Management System will allow this information to be consolidated into a readily accessible and auditable system in order to manage the Groups’ debt, interest rate exposure and cash.

Length of the contract

At this moment we anticipate the length of the contract to be 3 years (should any work be awarded), after which we expect to re-tender the requirement for a technical/functional upgrade of the system.

However the Group is prepared to consider proposals including a one year extension (3+1 year) as long as the total value of the contract proposed does not exceed the EU Thresholds (£173,934). The one year extension must be inclusive of a technical/functional upgrade of the proposed software.

Requirements

To be considered for this requirement suppliers must be able to deliver all functional and non-functional requirements as set out within the Treasury Management System specification “High Level Requirements” document which is available at http://www.shgroup.org.uk/AboutUs/Partner-With-Us/Procurement-Opportunities/

Cost of contract

The Group expect the cost of the contract not to exceed the EU Thresholds (£173,934) as per the Public Procurement Regulations. In the case that the contract exceeds the EU Threshold the Group would be required to tender the service according to those regulations and the Group are not willing to undertake such activity.

We expect the cost of the contract to include:

– All initial set-up cost/s including provision and installation of system, and costs for the initial set-up of the reports, consultancy, training needs, migration of data, etc.; and

– All annual cost/s over the entire length of the contract (3 years or 3+1 year) for provision of system, hosting, maintenance and support, etc.
