    Brief

    Essex County Council seeks a cloud-based Accounts Payable Audit Solution (SaaS) to help staff identify and prevent duplicate invoice payments and duplicate supplier records before payment is processed. The solution must include: software licences, implementation and data migration services, staff training, secure cloud hosting, system maintenance and support, comprehensive reporting functionality, and regular system updates. The system should enable Council staff to perform self-service duplicate checking and audit management while meeting UK accessibility standards and data protection regulations including GDPR compliance. The initial contract term is two years with an option to extend for one additional year. Suppliers should demonstrate experience in accounts payable automation, data security in the public sector, and user-friendly interfaces for non-technical staff.
