Explanation:
The Contract was awarded to Softcat PLC (for the use of of the Snow Software product plus additional wrap around consultancy services) based on the following justification. The Snow software agents had previously been deployed onto the Council's servers forming part of a different piece of work, thus reducing the risk as all relevant Hosting Security requirements and due diligence had already been undertaken.
