Decision:

Approval to award a contract to Northgate Public Services for document imaging software "Information@Work" to replace de-supported "Iclipse" software. The "Iclipse" software integrates with the existing Northgate System both of which are owned by the Council and operated under a perpetual licence. "Information@Work" will be purchased outright with a perpetual licence to operate with support and hosting for a term of 50 months in the first instance and options to extend for as long as the software remains fit for purpose. The renewal date for this software is aligned to that of the Northgate System allowing for strategic reviews at relevant intervals.

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - To replace the whole Northgate Revenues and Benefits and Housing System which is deemed not cost effective at the current time. The Software is protected by intellectual properties rights and can only be provided by Northgate Public Services
Option 2 -
Option 3 -
