Commerce Decisions Supports the Welsh Assembly Government in the Procurement of a New Pan Wales Performance Management Software System
OXFORD, England, September 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Commerce Decisions has announced that it has supported the Welsh Assembly Government in the procurement of a new Pan Wales performance management software system. This will enable all Local Authorities, National Parks and Fire & Rescue Services in Wales to monitor and manage both their own and joint performance by bringing a range of information together - performance indicators, risks, projects and milestones, actions etc. The Welsh Assembly Government is the devolved government for Wales. It is responsible for most of the issues of day-to-day interest to the people of Wales, including matters concerning the economy, health, education, and local government. "We used AWARD extensively throughout the project. I would estimate that it saved us close to 50% in time versus what I would normally spend on this type of assessment. It also improved the overall quality of the outcome. I would definitely use AWARD again for projects of this nature," said Denise Phillips, Improvement and Development Advisor, Local Government Data Unit. AWARD is a collaborative web-based software solution designed specifically to support the strategic procurement process from Request for Information preparation, through proposal evaluation to negotiation, delivery and post contract review. AWARD is proven to reduce time to contract, improve value for money and reduce risk. It has been used to support strategic procurements in a range of commercial and public sectors including utilities, transport, local government, healthcare, aerospace and defense. These procurements cover a broad range of activities including the provision of schools, hospitals, and transport and defense systems across Europe and the US. "We are very pleased to be working with the Welsh Assembly. We are seeing more and more projects of this nature turning to Commerce Decisions for both our consulting services and to utilise AWARD software to produce significantly improved results in large and strategically important procurements," said John Thompson, CEO, Commerce Decisions. About Commerce Decisions Commerce Decisions provides software and services to support the procurement and post contract review processes for both buyers and suppliers. AWARD software has been used by the defence, aerospace and utilities industries, healthcare and local and central government in a wide range of procurements of differing sizes and complexity, worth collectively over US$80 billion.
