Lot Information

Lot 1

Competition is absent as this software can only be procured from Tibco. As part of our Digital Transformation Strategy, COPFS is considering plans to strategically move to other solutions, however, this involves significant work and requires alignment with longer-term case management development planning and funding.

Options: The contract will be awarded for 1 year with the option to extend annually for a further 2 years. The requirement will be reviewed each year to ensure this is still the most appropriate route to market and in line with strategic digital plans.

Procurement Information

Tibco own the IPR and licensing rights in the software. The required licenses and support to run the software package can only be provided by Tibco for technical reasons. COPFS will during the term of the contract investigate alternative solutions to support the PROMIS case management application.
