ERP & SAP — Public Tenders
Enterprise resource planning systems (ERP) and SAP solutions in particular are foundational pillars of the IT infrastructure of public administrations and enterprises. Public contracting authorities regularly award contracts for the introduction, customising, migration and maintenance of ERP systems. With the upcoming SAP S/4HANA migration, the procurement volume in this area is rising significantly.

Challenges in finding tenders
ERP tenders use varied terminology: alongside "ERP" and "SAP", designations such as "financial software", "HR system", "merchandise management system" or "resource planning system" appear. Product names like SAP are often accompanied by "or equivalent" or avoided entirely for procurement-law reasons.
Projects are also often split into numerous lots — consultancy, development, training and operation can each be awarded separately. Without a systematic search, individual lots are easily missed.
