Municipality of Molenlanden - Financial system
The Municipality of Molenlanden (formerly Molenwaard) intends to replace the outdated Decade system, which has been in use since 2005 and will no longer be maintained as of 2024. The contract concerns an open tender for the supply of a new financial system. The municipality aims to have the new package operational by 1 September 2023 at the latest, allowing for a four-month period (1 September – 31 December 2023) in which both systems run in parallel. As of 1 January 2024, the new system must be fully in use, after which the agreement will commence. The tender requires rapid implementation, careful migration of existing data, a robust dual-run environment, and a clear transition strategy. Suppliers must demonstrate experience with similar government projects, comply with the open procedure, and be able to meet the specified timelines.

The Municipality of Molenlanden currently uses the Decade package for its financial processes. This package was purchased in 2005. Decade has not been maintained (end of use) for several years, and as of 2024, Decade will definitively no longer be used. The aim is to enter into a new agreement as soon as possible. This will allow implementation and system migration to start in time, ensuring sufficient time for an extended shadow run. The intention is to have the package running by 1 September 2023 at the latest, so that the two packages function alongside each other in the period from 1 Septe
