OD-014-25 Approval to direct award a three-year SaaS contract to Unit4

The council has been using Unit4 as its Finance system since 2004. Last year Unit4 publicly announced that they were moving all customers to their SaaS (Cloud) solution. Any on-premise solutions would no longer be supported.
Considering the high-risk implications of being unsupported by Unit4 for a significant period whilst we move to an alternative cloud solution, a decision has been made to move to Unit4 full SaaS by December 2026. This requires the council to sign up to a three-year contract by 31 December 2024.

Decision type: Non-key
