The supplier must detail the options and process for increasing the licence count if required by the customer at a later date during the term of the contract. • The solution must be compatible with existing client devices - Microsoft Surface Pro (Windows 8.1 and Windows 10), Apple iPads and iPhones (IOS 11) • The solution must be compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 and Safari • The solution must be compatible with documents produced in Microsoft Office 2013 and 2016 (Word, Excel and PowerPoint) and PDF documents. • The supplier must detail how the system will be accessed e.g. via use of an app • If client software is required to be installed on a Windows computer the supplier must confirm whether an offline executable file is available for software installation.

It should be noted that the customer's users do not have local admin rights to install software and cannot download executable files from the internet and any software installation would need to be carried out by the customer's internal IT team.
