Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (septa) Septa #26-00268-AHAC

SEPTA seeks a cloud ERP suite and end-to-end implementation and systems integration services

SEPTA is seeking a cloud-based ERP suite and an implementation partner to replace legacy business systems and support agency-wide operations. - Government buyer: Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), Procurement, Supply Chain Management Department. - OEMs and vendors: No ERP manufacturer, software product, or commercial vendor is named. SEPTA is the government buyer, not a vendor. - Requested solution: Cloud ERP covering Finance and Accounting; Sourcing, Procurement, and Inventory; Budgeting and Planning; Human Capital Management; Payroll and Timekeeping. Software licensing or subscriptions, hosting, and any required third-party or add-on solutions are included; no part numbers or purchase quantities are specified. - Implementation services: End-to-end systems integration, configuration, data conversion and migration, integrations, testing, reporting and analytics, training, deployment, cutover, stabilization, hypercare, and application maintenance and support. - Notable requirements: Finance and Procurement must be deployed before HCM, Payroll, and Budgeting and Planning. The solution must address transit-specific labor and payroll complexity, cybersecurity, disaster recovery, accessibility, integration with existing systems, and U.S.-based data residency. SEPTA also requires exit and transition support and identifies nine key Systems Integrator roles, including project management, architecture, process design, technical development, testing, change management, training, reporting and analytics, and data migration. - Schedule and term: Implementation is anticipated to begin in the second quarter of 2027 and finish within 48 months of Notice to Proceed; the selected partner should be ready to start within 30 days. Each deployment phase includes three months of hypercare, followed by an expected three-year application maintenance term with up to two one-year renewals. A ten-year software pricing estimate is for evaluation and planning, not a commitment to that term.
