The County has initiated this NRFP to source a financial system replacement to replace its finance system that is reaching end of life. The financial system replacement will serve as a core business application for finance typical of such systems, enhancing functionality and providing support for business continuity meeting the County’s business and organizational needs. 

With more than 20,000 citizens, and covering an area of over 2000km2, the County employs a workforce of over 250 employees providing a full range of municipal services with an annual budget of $86M (operating for 2024) and $49M (capital for 2024). To support growth and increased service delivery the County has determined the need to replace its finance system with a scalable financial system built on updated technology. Over the past two years, the County has been conducting various market sounding activities through published Requests for Information (RFI’s) on the Alberta Purchasing Connection (APC), product demonstrations, commercially confidential meetings, and intermunicipal discussions, to ensure understanding of market offerings and ERP system capabilities.  

The County is seeking a solution that will meet its core requirements with minimal modifications. Where necessary, supporting department level system(s) will be integrated into the financial system replacement with the goal of optimizing system utilization for all users, improving analytical capabilities, strengthening customer service while reducing duplication and redundancy.
