Procurement Information
Crown is the developer and proprietor of the Licences and Support and a contract for support and maintenance can only be supplied by them. The system was originally procured as part of a larger contract, which was subject to an above threshold tender process. Due to changes required in hosting location as part of the move to an on-premise solution, support and maintenance is being sourced directly. Although there are other systems available that provide time recording capabilities, Crown DMS provides us with the capability for our complex operational planning and deployment of resources and builds on the heavy investment already made in the configuration of the Crown DMS so it meets our needs. If we were to move to a new system, it would require significant funding and re-investment to meet these requirements and capabilities, as well as a long period of implementation and dual running of Crown DMS and an alternative DMS. A F15: Voluntary ex ante transparency notice, 024/S 000-040715 was published on 18 December 2024 observing a standstill period.
