Decision details

In order to implement the digital victims of crime gateway support project, we require 2 x of each type of these license packs that will enable victims of crime to use and create user accounts and store data.

The cost is per month, and we would need to purchase the licences for 9 months (this is to do with GMCA’s next licence anniversary check point being next April).
This would then give us 1000 licences to allow people to access the website, and 200 licences to allow users to create an account.

We would monitor this monthly, and if needed, would need to acquire additional licences to fit the demand on the gateway. It is felt that this current approach is proportionate to anticipated demand.

A funding envelope of £4950 to enable the go-live of the victims of crime digital support gateway at the end of August. We require the purchasing of packs of licences through Phoenix Software to allow the public to:

• Access the website, which is classed as someone being an ‘anonymous user’
• Create an account in the portal, which is classed as someone being an ‘authenticated user.

To cover a 9-month period as a trial period, this would work out as:

1 month = 2 x £58.59 + 2 x £156.23
1 month = £117.18 + £312.46
1 month = £429.64
9 months = £429.64 x 9
= £3866.76
(+ Contingency of £1,083.24 in case further license packs are required by demand)
