    Brief

    The University seeks to renew its software license and support agreement for the Unit4 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution, which is critical to managing institutional and subsidiary finances. This direct award procurement is justified under the Procurement Act 2023 because Unit4 holds exclusive intellectual property rights to the solution and changing suppliers would create technical incompatibilities and operational difficulties. The Unit4 ERP system provides comprehensive financial management capabilities including budget management, expense tracking, procurement workflows (source-to-contract), revenue management (sales-to-cash), general ledger reporting, and commitment accounting. The contract includes ongoing software support, maintenance services, and system updates to ensure continuous operation of this business-critical platform. Eligible suppliers must be Unit4 or authorized representatives capable of delivering the full suite of ERP modules and associated support services.
