IBM SPSS LICENSING SOLUTIONS - PUBLIC HEALTH WALES

Public Health Wales (PHW) currently uses IBM SPSS Statistics to support a range of public health, research, analytical, evaluation and intelligence functions across the organisation.

The primary objective is to identify the most cost-effective, flexible and sustainable licensing model that enables continued access to the required SPSS functionality whilst delivering value for money.

This exercise is intended to help PHW better understand:

• Available IBM SPSS licensing models.

• Opportunities to improve value for money.

• NHS and public sector pricing arrangements.

• The relative merits of perpetual and subscription licensing.

• The benefits and drawbacks of concurrent-user and named-user licensing.

• Enterprise and organisational licensing options.

• Opportunities to introduce greater flexibility where user numbers fluctuate throughout the year.

• Available discounts and commercial arrangements.

This exercise is being conducted solely for information-gathering purposes and does not constitute a formal procurement process or commitment to purchase.
