The Cabinet considered a report
of the Executive Director (Strategy and Change) concerning the
renewal of the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (EA).
 
Resolved:
 
That the award of a Microsoft
Enterprise Agreement (EA) for 3 years, be approved. This will be
aligned with the new Government DTA (Digital Transformation
Agreement), to ensure uninterrupted access to critical software
solutions whilst optimising costs and technology
capabilities.
 
Reasons for
decision:
 
By leveraging volume licensing,
consolidating software purchases under a
single agreement, and aligning
to the DTA collective buying power agreement, the Council can
achieve significant cost avoidance.
 
Other options:
 
None.
