The project is for the procurement of SAP's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) cloud-based solution 'RISE with SAP'. This are business-critical applications to provide TfL's core back-office business functions of finance, procurement and supply chain management and logistics. TFL's current ERP system (called 'SAP ECC 6'), which is provided by SAP, will no longer be supported after December 2027. TfL proposes to make a direct award to SAP (the same provider) of a contract to provide a new ERP system 'RISE with SAP', giving access to SAP applications supported by SAP S/4HANA and built on a hosted SaaS-like architecture which is fully maintained by SAP and provides for improved data management and analytics/reporting. TfL is purchasing subscriptions to different modules provided either as 'Private Cloud Tailored Option' or public cloud services.

"procurementMethodRationale": "\u2022\tTfL\u0027s current Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution and its critical modules (for example Shift Planning, SAP Payroll and the HANA Database) are heavily customised to meet TfL\u0027s specific requirements and, without update or replacement, will be unsupportable after the end of 2027.\n\u2022\tTfL\u0027s reliance on the SAP-based ERP system and the operational and business-critical modules mentioned above mean that they must be updated, or replaced, so that they are supported in the long term. \n\u2022\tSAP will in future no longer be providing such support to its customers other than those with \"RISE with SAP\" beyond 23 December 2027. \n\u2022\tAlthough there is potential for SAP\u0027s resellers to provide the RISE with SAP product, this is conditional on their being approved by SAP. In addition, any reseller would commercially only be likely to provide those services if TfL were to commit to additional \"wrap-around\" services at extra cost (plus general on-costs). \n\u2022\tTo use a reseller would also be sub-optimal as it would add an extra layer of contract management, together with the costs of unnecessary additional services, to the wider S/4HANA project for which it is proposed that RISE with SAP is used. \n\u2022\tGiven that TfL\u0027s SAP ERP estate and components are highly customised, SAP\u0027s associated experience and know-how in supporting TfL specifically is unique. Accordingly, TfL has no option but to move from its current ECC 6 to a S4/HANA ERP solution via RISE with SAP to ensure that business-critical ERP tools, such as Shift Planning and SAP payroll, remain interoperable and can be supported in future.\n\u2022\tThe facts explained above mean that any competition for the RISE with SAP product is effectively absent.",
