Enterprise resource planning (ERP), Human Resources (HR) and payroll and finance systems - Find a freedom of information request

1. In August 2021, we send yourselves an FOI request regarding your, ERP, HR & payroll, and finance systems.

In your response you informed us that at least one of these systems was due to renew in the first 6 months of 2022.

However, we do not believe this has happened, please can you advise us why this renewal has not occurred and when you expected it to renew.

If your organisation has chosen to extend its pre-existing software contract, please can you explain the reasoning behind this decision.

1. The ERP (HR, Payroll & Finance) system is not due for renewal, but Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) are in the process of implementing an upgraded version of the system which is now expected to go-live in April 2023. It was originally anticipated that it would be live with the new version in 2022 but this date was revised to ensure the appropriate levels of testing could be completed and to ensure adequate time for the updating and renewing of training and guidance material. LCC have not had to extend the existing software contract.
