Scottish National Investment Bank - Investment Management System

Published

Description

An end to end management system enabling the maintenance and monitoring of a live investment portfolio, including debt, direct equity and fund investment styles. Lot 1: Fund Administration Background and system purpose – The Scottish National Investment Bank (the “Bank”) is looking to procure an investment management system to maintain its live investment portfolio, c. 16 assets, GBP200m commitment to date, rising to c. 200 assets, GBP2bn+ deployed over the course of ten years. The Bank’s expectation is that the assets / AUM level would be c. 100 investments / GBP1bn at the end of the Investment Management System’s initial four-year contract period, with the investment count / AUM increasing smoothly over that period. The Bank’s investments will comprise debt, direct equity and fund investments and blends of these instruments. The system will initially be set up to host a single legal entity, Scottish Investments Limited, which holds these assets directly, however the system should be scalable to allow for additional legal entities / investors over time. The Bank is a new entity (established November 2020) and so data migration efforts will be minimal. The system will be expected primarily to support the operations and reporting requirements of the Bank’s Impact, Portfolio Management, and Investment Operations teams. Note that the Bank is looking for an optimal solution to perform both fund administration and portfolio / impact management functions. This may be achieved through the employment of one or two systems and the Bank will be looking to source the best solution in aggregate, hence the requirements are divided into 2 Lots, one for Fund Administration, and two for Portfolio Management. Bank System Architecture and user base Salesforce and Access Financials are already in place for the Bank’s CRM and corporate general ledger, respectively. SharePoint will be retained for core document management. The systems will need to be able to interface with each other as appropriate. Preference is for remote hosting / software as a service. The Bank has approximately 60 staff. The system will have an initial core user-base of approximately fifteen people (to 31 March 2023), with two / three of these requiring super-user rights. Licensing requirement is anticipated to increase to c. 30 users from 1 April 2023 and may rise to c. 50 users by 31 December 2024. Dependent on licensing the Bank may allow read-only / edit permissions to other members of the Bank extending to all staff as a maximum user base. System would need to have requisite data security, with the potential for different files / data to be locked or have limited availability. Potential bidders must refer to and answer all appropriate questions within the SPD document plus documents 3.1 Evaluation Guide Award Criteria Lot 1, plus document 4 Investment Management System Commercial requirements including the Lot one specifics and document 5 IMS specifications, also complete Document 6 Cyber Security Assessment and finally supply the appropriate financial information in document 7 Pricing Schedule.
