Notice Title

Asset management software system for Somerset County Council and Somerset West & Taunton Council

Notice Description

Somerset County Council (SCC) are seeking to replace their current asset management system, due to the system support of the current provider expiring in 2021, jointly procuring a replacement system with Somerset West & Taunton Council (SW&T). This has brought about an opportunity to review other property related systems/requirements across the Councils, with a view to integrate the functionality of these systems into one single solution. This will mitigate the need to enter the same data onto multiple systems, reduce the risk of input errors, and generate efficiencies. Note 1 - the contract term is 3 years with two additional optional 12 months extensions available. Note 2 - a contract finder notice for this contract was published on 17 June 2021, procurement ref - SOMRTD001-DN547697-51409489
