the successful proponent should have:
• experience and expertise with the sap public budget formulation (pbf) module and implementations within large public sector organizations.

manitoba will enter into an agreement with the proponent who submits a proposal that best serves the interests of manitoba when evaluated in accordance with the stated evaluation criteria.

the contract will provide the monthly minimum block of 360 hours over a 3-year period with an option to extend the contract for one, 2-year extension. pricing will be evaluated on the total cost over 3 years. proposals should provide options and conditions for adjusting the fixed block of monthly hours (up or down) based on annual review of actual use and projected requirements.
