Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The licences, support, and maintenance contract for the Council’s document management system (W360) was due to expire on 31.03.22. The recommendation was to award a one-year contract to the incumbent supplier, Civica UK Limited, for the continued licences, support, and maintenance of the Council’s Document Management System (W360).

The one-year contract was approved to ensure the Council would have a fully supported and compliant document management system in place beond 31.03.2022

Decision:

The Chief Officer approved the award of a one-year contract to Civica UK Limited for continued licences, support, and maintenance of the Council’s Document Management System from 01.04.22 – 31.03.23. Approval was also given for the commencement of a new procurement process for a Council’s Document Management System with a report on the plan for this reported to Cabinet in 2022/23.

Alternative options considered:

-A direct award was approved as a full procurement process would result in the Council not having a fully supported and compliant system in place for 31.03.2022. Revenues & Benefits, Housing, HR, Legal, Property Services, Planning & Building Control, Community Services, and the Slough Children’s Company would be left without access vital documentation relating to their service area.
