Queensland Health has issued a request for proposal for a change management partner to help the 90,000-strong organisation begin a move from its 20-year-old, heavily customised SAP enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution to a contemporary SAP finance platform, billed as a 'once in a generation' opportunity to contemporise financial administration across Queensland Health.

The $100 million Financial System Renewal (FSR) project was identified in the $1.26 billion eHealth investment strategy in 2015 as one of four 'high risk' priority systems, along with the replacement of the similarly aged patient administration system known as HBCIS, the pathology system renewal – which has gone to tender and is expected to be awarded soon – and the roll-out of electronic medical records.
