DDaT21335 eCatalogue Solution

Description

Background UK SBS currently uses a Catalogue Content Management Software solution which has been in place for several years. The current Contract is due to expire in April 2023 and we therefore wish to understand what the market can offer in the form of a standard self-service user eCatalogue platform and what features are available with customisation. All information gained from the Pre-Market Engagement sessions will help to ensure we have a fit for purpose specification when we formally approach the market later this year. UK SBS currently runs roughly £10M per annum through its eMarketplace, however there are internal strategies underway to increase the Catalogue offerings which will increase the per annum spend to around £15M - £20M.
