Reference: EGTI2505
We require a Client Side Advisor (CSA) to have full access to a talent pool with experience of ERP Tier 1 systems which can be agreed and drawn down upon once the contract is awarded. We expect the advisory service provider to have direct experience with our chosen solution.
The CSA will be experienced in ERP implementation with tested implementation methodology, accelerated deployment and programme phasing which will support the project team and will provide advice on the overarching programme plan and SOW being agreed with the System implementor.
A blend of skills will be drawn down as and when required from the CSA's team to work alongside Energia Group's internal team.
It is Energia's intention to award this contract as a single supplier framework agreement in 2 Lots:
Lot 1 - Client Side Advisory for Implementation and Post Implementation Period
Appointment of a system agnostic CSA who will lead the successful delivery of ERP implementation and drive value from the SI, mitigate risks normally associated with a complex ERP programme and provide expertise to the project team where required.
Lot 2 - Client Side Advisory for Enhancements and Additional Modules (Optional)
The EGTI2501 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Platform and Associated Implementation and Support Services includes the scope to avail of procuring and implementing additional modules throughout the contract period.
Should Energia proceed with procuring these additional modules, we reserve the right at our discretion, to avail or not avail of this EGTI2505 Software as a Service (SaaS) Client Side Advisory for Implementation and Post Implementation Period (Project Prime) contract for support during their implementation.
