The buyer’s description
“Public Health Wales (PHW) currently uses IBM SPSS Statistics to support a range of public health, research, analytical, evaluation and intelligence functions across the organisation. The primary objective is to identify the most cost-effective, flexible and sustainable licensing model that enables continued access to the required SPSS functionality whilst delivering value for money. This exercise is intended to help PHW better understand:
• Available IBM SPSS licensing models.
• Opportunities to improve value for money.
• NHS and public sector pricing arrangements.
• The relative merits of perpetual and subscription licensing.
• The benefits and drawbacks of concurrent-user and named-user licensing.
• Enterprise and organisational licensing options.
• Opportunities to introduce greater flexibility where user numbers fluctuate throughout the year.
• Available discounts and commercial arrangements. This exercise is being conducted solely for information-gathering purposes and does not constitute a formal procurement process or commitment to purchase. Please contact bethan.dyke@wales.nhs.uk for a copy of the PME document for completion.”
