Tender description

TransPennine Trains Limited (TPT) is exploring options to enhance its financial forecasting and planning capability, with a view to potentially procuring a solution and/or associated services. The current environment comprises multiple systems and spreadsheet-based processes, resulting in fragmented data, manual consolidation, and limitations in scenario modelling, governance and integration. TPT is seeking to understand how the market could support improved integration across finance and operational systems, alongside enhanced budgeting, forecasting, planning and reporting capabilities. Any future requirement is expected to include driver-based modelling, improved data integration, and strengthened workflow, version control and audit functionality, as well as more accessible reporting and increased agility in supporting rolling forecasts. TPT is not prescribing a specific solution model at this stage and may consider a range of approaches, including platform solutions, enhancement of existing systems, modular or phased delivery, or service-led / hybrid models. The outcome of this process will inform any potential future procurement and the scope of any subsequent requirement.
