Description

NIPS are currently using ERP ECC6 software for the COMPASS System (NIPS HR/Payroll/Rostering/Training system for Operational Staff). NIPS already own the required ERP ECC6 licences as they were purchased as part of the original contract. Enterprise Support is required to download future software releases, software support patches relating to legislative changes in Payroll/HR and for technical support. Without this support NIPS cannot operate and maintain this system to be fit for purpose. The support and maintenance is paid annually and the contract cost for the four year period is £660,680 VAT Inclusive.
