Competition

Typical: a median of 5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 60 awards in the last 12 months).

What the notice says

The Council is currently implementing Unit4 ERP Cloud and will be decommissioning its existing Unit4 Business World (on-premise) environment. As part of this transition, not all historic data will be migrated to the new cloud ERP solution. The Council therefore requires a secure and sustainable approach to retaining, accessing and managing legacy Unit4 Business World data for statutory, audit, financial reporting, Freedom of Information and investigative purposes.
