Appian platform licensing – CMS 2025

Description

Renewal of an existing contract with Appian for the provision of the Appian software platform upon which our Case management system is built. Lot 1: The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has made a strategic investment in the development of its Case Management System (CMS) using the Appian platform. To continue leveraging the benefits of this investment and maximise the return on investment it is essential to maintain access to the Appian software through ongoing licensing. Appian licences are available directly from Appian or through a limited number of partners, with licencing typically bundled with development services. The IOPC has chosen to separate licensing from development to retain flexibility and avoid vendor lock-in. There is an absence of competition offering Appian licensing independently of development services and able to offer a continuation of the same licensing we currently benefit from.
