This procurement falls under the IT services category and will be facilitated through the In-tend e-Tendering System. Bids must be submitted by 15:00hrs on Monday, 22nd May 2017, with the contract expected to commence on 1st September 2017 and run until 31st March 2018. The council is looking to engage an experienced supplier to assist in transitioning their performance reporting infrastructure to a new server and upgrade the associated software. This tender presents an opportunity for IT service providers, particularly those with expertise in database management, system upgrades, and technical support services. Companies that specialise in consulting, software development, and support for Microsoft technologies would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this procurement can enhance a supplier's market presence while contributing to significant improvements in local government IT infrastructure. ## Notice Sandwell Council is seeking to appoint an experienced supplier to work closely with ICT and the business to ensure the transition to build an instance of Cube Technology to interface with the instance of the Housing Management System (SHAPE) installed on the Corporate Infrastructure. Sandwell uses cube technology for its performance reporting. The infrastructure is no longer viable and needs to be moved to a newer server and Microsoft software solutions require updating.
