Purpose

This product is one a small number available
but has been in use within Bristol City Council for the past four
years. The proposed procurement route is to Direct Award through a
CSS Framework - RM3821 Data and Application Solutions. This
Framework has been extended until 22 May 2023. DAS (Data and
Applications Solutions) is a compliant route and allows for a
Direct Award. The solution is already embedded on our
infrastructure so ensures best value for public money with no
additional costs to seek a similar solution that would incur
additional costs with any other supplier.

Content

To renew our licensing/support agreement with
Civica through Direct Award for a period of three years.

Alternative options considered

Not to renew. Having no data matching software
would undermine a range of data and insight activity across the
organisation.
