The brief

The Guinness Partnerships (TGP) is running this procurement process to put in a Framework Agreement with a panel of Microsoft Dynamics Partners.

The proposed Framework length is for a maximum of 48 months.

The proposed number of Lots is 2 with a maximum of 5 suppliers on each Lots.

TGP are looking to conduct a Market Testing for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Partner.

We are seeking a Partner with core Microsoft skills and competencies, primarily D365, but also to cover other Microsoft applications and infrastructure including SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, DevOps, and the Azure platform.

The Strategic Microsoft Partner will be required to bring experience within the sector, with the expectation that they are certified via the new Microsoft Solutions Partner designations (or can evidence the legacy capabilities that translate towards these), which provides Guinness with assurance that the Partner brings the appropriate level of performance, skilling, and customer success to the relationship.

At this stage, we are looking to hear from potential suppliers to provide us with an outline of their capabilities/experience with reference to our requirements by filling in the “Pre-Market Engagement Questionnaire”.

Suppliers are required to submit the Questionnaire by 8th July 2022 no later than 17:00pm via our e-sourcing portal Procontract.
