SC Software won the bidding for the City of Tampere’s sourcing management and tendering system. The tendering service developed by SC Software will be launched on a wider market in the spring of 2023.

Sourcing is one of SC Software’s key business areas, for which the company has developed software solutions for a long time. The victory in the City of Tampere’s sourcing system tender strengthens the SC Sourcing Suite product family development. According to the customer’s estimate, the total value of the the entire contract period is approximately 600,000 euros.

“We are developing our sourcing management and the sourcing system offers the right tools for that. SC Sourcing Suite also supports the management of purchase needs and the entire lifecycle of sourcing, which offers new interesting opportunities for operational development. The sourcing system is tailored to meet our needs, and at the same time it enables the evaluation of our current processes and the possibility of making them more efficient”, says Kari Paju, CPO at the City of Tampere.

E-tendering as part of SC Sourcing Suite

SC Sourcing Suite is expanding with an electronic tendering service. In the future, procurement units can publish invitations to tender, and suppliers can participate in biddings through the portal. The new electronic tendering service will be introduced in spring 2023 at the same time with the system implementation for the City of Tampere.

“This is the last missing piece for the comprehensive sourcing management solution. The new e-tendering service will work smoothly together with Hilma and take into account the requirements of the coming eForms reform. It integrates to the sourcing system so that data no longer needs to be entered many times in various places. Special attention has also been paid to the service’s accessibility and information security”, says Tiina Vestman, Sales Director at SC Software.

SC Software has entered into a contract for the delivery of the strategic sourcing solution with the City of Espoo. The customer estimates the total value of the system to be a maximum of 1.8 million euros.

Sourcing is one of SC Software’s key business areas, in which the company has invested significantly, for example by developing the cloud-based SC Sourcing Suite solution. Public procurement organizations have begun to invest more and more in the development of procurement processes and strategic management.

“Many public administration organizations are struggling with data siloed in separate systems and documents, as well as solutions that do not adapt to their processes. Separate systems do not talk to each other and support for management is missing. The supply of procurement solutions on the market has also remained the same for a long time. In the public administration, there has been a need for a modern and comprehensive sourcing management system – we want to meet this need,” says Tiina Vestman, Sales Director at SC Software.

“We are very happy that we will get the SC Sourcing Suite solution to support our everyday lives and that we can continue the development of our sourcing with SC Software. Their system is great, agile and it also provides the keys to informed leading of sourcing. Based on our previous experience, SC Software has proven as a partner that brings added value to the customer on its own initiative. System implementation projects are not always perceived as a great treat amidst the busyness of everyday life, but this time we are looking forward to the implementation project with SC Software’s competent experts!”, says Pihla Hynynen, CPO at the City of Espoo.
