TC1055 Reissued Contract Management System (CMS)

Manchester City Council (MCC) requires an off the shelf contract management system (CMS) to enable the effective design, procurement, and management of its contracts. The CMS is required to standardise best practice contract management across MCC and to create opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of MCC's contracting. MCC requires the CMS to be fully hosted by the application provider on a Software as a Service basis. It must have some flexibility to be customised to MCC processes and terminology. Currently, MCC does not have a centralised contract management system that monitors all contracted activity/spend across the Council.
