Decision Maker: Acting Strategic Director of Finance/S151, Director of Legal and Demcoratic Services (Monitoring Officer), Strategic Director of Housing, Environment and Estates

Outcome:

Is Key Decision?: Yes

Is Callable In?: No

Purpose: To implement a cloud-based software system for cemeteries and crematorium management, ensuring that all aspects of the department are covered in one piece of software and ensuring security for the service in the future. This supplier has been identified through the G-Cloud framework and is the only supplier who can offer a solution to all elements required, which after consultation with STAR means we can proceed with a direct award. The current bereavement software (BACAS) is extremely dated and is in desperate need for an update, the service is having to use a number of different solutions using various software packages to cover all areas of bereavement. Support for our current version of BACAS will end on the 1 April 2026.
