### Procurement Information

Transitioning to an alternative platform at this stage would require substantial redevelopment of existing websites and services, alongside a complex and resource-intensive content migration process. This would not only divert critical resources but also significantly delay delivery timelines, beyond the implementation of Local Government Reorganisation (LGR).
