Tender description

The City currently uses 2 separate solutions to support the services of its departments for markets and consumer protection and for the built environment. The City is primarily investigating whether it is possible to rationalise these systems into a single solution and whether this is likely to be the best value for money option available. In addition to this, the City would like your views on the best method of hosting the solution/s in relation to the impact on value for money and statements regarding your capability to achieve this. Finally, the City would like to find out about the solutions that you could potentially offer to meet their requirements. Any information provided here is purely for information only and to inform the City of solutions that it may not already be aware of. It will also help inform the specifications in terms of the standards applied and common traits across the marketplace.
