Integra Support Contract 26 - 27 (UID 228)

Notice Description

The support agreement with IBSS is a condition of our licence to use the Integra software, our primary finance system. In addition, it provides us with the latest software releases, additional functionality, and a support desk function, all of which we deem necessary for our continued use of Integra and would expect from any other system.

Split by organisation is as follows: Historic England PS19,826.68, English Heritage PS26,368.47, DCMS 25,255.33, IFR PS16,420.60, totalling PS87,871.08 excluding VAT.
