Description
In 2025, the Corporate Finance team launched a service improvement programme that recommended reviewing finance management, payments and HR services, and market options to ensure strategic alignment. One concept is to consider Enterprise Resource Planning software. Discovery and research will commence once specialist resource has been engaged. Meanwhile, Luton requires risk prevention support from the current supplier during discovery, sourcing and potentially, the implementation of change. Additional information: 2+1+1+1
