In an ideal world the Finance and HR system will come hosted on the same platform to provide a consistent look and feel across its back office and self-service functions. The Finance and HR systems may be provided as separate products/solutions however seamless integration must be demonstrated. whg anticipated key dates in relation to the Contract are detailed in the tender documentation and split between Mobilisation / Build, License Minimum term with the option to extend at whg’s sole discretion.

Under the proposals, whg and Aspire aim to bring together the best from both organisations to provide excellent housing services, create more regional growth opportunities and build more affordable homes for people in local communities.
