Decision

To award a contract for the provision of the Burial & Cremation software.

Reasons for the decision

To enable the council to have a compliant contract enabling a cloud based solution, with use of inhouse skills. This would ensure the council has a fully supported application with the ability to deliver modern service operations.

Alternative options considered

To award to the incumbent supplier would place the council at high risk of an out of date, server-based solution with no developments being available.
