Short description EM/FMS/05/23 -
Single operator framework agreement for the provision of a Financial Management System including maintenance, support and related services. Detailed description Should Bord Bia decide to implement a new solution, Bord Bia proposes to engage in a competitive process for the establishment of a framework agreement for the Provision of Financial Management System and Related Services including:
- Provision of a fully functional Financial Management System, i.e. application
- Provision of a managed hosting service
- Provision of end-to-end managed support services
- Provision of implementation, migration and project management support services
- Provision of a Business Intelligence capability
- Provision of related services, e.g. consultancy, advice, etc.
Bord Bia has a preference for a solution provided and delivered on a Software as a Service (SaaS) basis.
A framework agreement constitutes a means of establishing the overall terms and conditions in accordance with which, for a specified duration, individual contracts may or not be awarded.
In the context of a single-operator framework agreement, the successful framework member does not have to compete for each new contract.
It is emphasised that a framework agreement constitutes no guarantee to purchase a specific quantity of supplies or services from a particular economic operator. Indeed, Bord Bia reserves the right to operate outside of the framework agreement at its discretion, particularly should it become apparent that doing so would offer greater value for money. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the framework agreement approach has been adopted in order to leverage efficiencies and maximise cost savings over the duration of the framework.
