RFI for Cloud-Based Financial Management System

Research Ireland seeks information for a modern, cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) financial management system. The buyer needs a vendor to configure, test, and implement the system, as well as provide ongoing support and maintenance. The required scope includes a solution that integrates with Microsoft 365, Microsoft Entra ID, AIB iBB online banking, the Fexco payment platform, and the Revenue Online Service. Key functional capabilities must support committed expenditure tracking, customisable multi-level approval workflows, automated purchase order creation, fixed asset management, and budget reporting. Only onshore Ireland organizations are eligible to bid, and performance of the work will be offsite. Responders must submit digital responses through the eTenders post box or via email by 5:00 PM on October 9, 2026. This Request for Information serves as a market-sounding exercise to determine indicative costs and budgetary requirements rather than a formal competition. The text does not establish a fixed contract term or budget, noting only that the buyer is looking for proposals to confirm its business case and set preliminary costs.
