Description of the procurement
Microfinance Ireland (MFI) recently commenced a procurement to select a cloud-based small business lending system to support its operations across all stages of the lending lifecycle including loan origination, loan administration, servicing, collections, and MI & reporting. That competition is nearing conclusion and a preferred technology provider is expected to be selected by May 2023.

* Project Management – provide project management for a programme of change, ensuring all key milestones are met on time and to the required standard.
