The
Director  of Strategy and
Resources approved a direct award
through Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) a contract to
Access UK Ltd for the implementation of
supplier hosting (SaaS) and  support and
maintenance, for the period 1st April 2024 –
31st March 2028
The cost of making a direct award of the contract for this
period is £911,632 to 31st
March 2028.
The
decision to award the contract is being taken on technical grounds as Mosaic is
fully embedded into the Council’s systems and can only
continue to be supported and maintained by Access UK
Ltd.
The decision is based following
a feasibility assessment, to move the Mosaic from on premise to
cloud hosted in line with the Government and corporate ‘Cloud
First’ principle.
