Lot Information

Lot 1

Direct award for 3 years of a new contract to Fiscal Technologies Ltd for the provision of the councils accounts payable audit solution.

Procurement Information

The Council is currently undertaking a full review of its core systems under the Core Business Transformation (CBT) Programme, including the replacement of its core Financial Management System. Due to the reasons outlined above in relation to compromising the transactional history and payment profile which the current system affords and by providing a level of assurance against which to gauge performance, integrity, and accuracy during the replacement of the Council's Core Finance system, the risk of changing products at this stage is too high. The intention is therefore to undertake a competitive exercise in advance of the expiration of this contract in March 2027
