Description
Details copied from the previous VEAT Notice: This notice covers the migration of an existing ERP and HR/Payroll system to a vendor managed cloud solution. University of Wolverhampton currently use the Unit4 Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP) system for management of financial transactions, HR records and pension and payroll processing. Unit4 also provides support and maintenance under this contract. Unit4 has informed the University that it is migrating its ERP system to the cloud. It follows that the current on-premise solution being provided to the University is no longer going to be available. The University is transitioning from the Unit4 on-premise solution to the updated cloud offering. The University's rationale and legal justification for awarding the new vendor managed cloud solution contract to Unit4 is included in this notice. This contract was awarded 30th September 2024.
