This procurement falls under the industry category of IT services, specifically addressing consulting, software development, and support. The engagement end date is set for 25 November 2024. The process is currently in the planning stage, aiming to replace the existing on-premises system. The primary contact for this notice is Jonathan Loneza at Cambridge City Council. The location for this procurement is in England, United Kingdom. This tender provides an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in cloud-based legal case management solutions, particularly those focused on Software as a Service (SaaS).
