NNC- Migration of Leisure Management System (Early Engagement)

North Northamptonshire Council (hereafter referred to as the "Council") are planning on undertaking migration of their current Leisure Management System, Gladstone, and associated modules from an in-house server-based infrastructure to a cloud-based platform.

Any potential Supplier must undertake the migration from the existing system to a new platform. The platform must provide a secure, backed up and monitored environment, ensuring excellent performance, with minimum down time and no third-party IT company to support.

As part of our requirements a secure UK based platform and optimised infrastructure would be required.

As this is a cloud-based platform the environment would be accessed using an internet connection on a variety of remote access devices.

At this time, we are not able to provide any further information.

If your organisation is interested in this opportunity and believe they could provide the requirement to the Council, in line with the Scope of Services set out above, please confirm your interest to procurement@northnorthants.gov.uk by no later than 12:00 noon on the closing date of this notice.

The Council's available budget for this requirement is £9,450.00

Any potential Supplier interested in this opportunity should register on the Council's e-Procurement portal in advance of the opportunity being published, by visiting https://in-tendhost.co.uk/nnc, and expressing an interest.
