Decision:

That:

(a)       JADU license and support is put in place until 1st Sept 2021 at a cost of £120k, which is circa £30k per annum.

 

Alternative options considered:

1.         Do not purchase licence and support. This is not recommended as the council would have to cease using the software applications to remain compliant with the licence agreement.  The application suite provides the council’s website as a key tool in delivering the digital strategy.

2.         To Retender: Not recommended as current supplier was awarded the contract 12 months ago via a procurement framework.
