    Brief

    The council requires an electronic Electoral Management System (EMS) to deliver statutory Electoral Registration and Elections Management functions in compliance with Government legislation and regulations. The current on-premise software system needs to transition to a cloud-based platform to improve cost-effectiveness and operational efficiency. This opportunity invites market engagement to explore cloud-based solutions that can reliably manage electoral processes within statutory timescales, reduce infrastructure costs, and support the council's digital transformation goals. Prospective suppliers should demonstrate experience in delivering secure, scalable electoral management solutions, understanding of electoral legislation compliance, and proven cloud deployment expertise.
