The decision was taken to allow two months of invoicing, issued separately, outside of the expired contract in order to maintain uninterrupted access to the Oneserve software, licences and support services. This temporary arrangement ensures operational continuity while the necessary governance, approval and procurement processes for the contract renewal are completed. Without this interim provision, essential services would be at risk of disruption.

To be invoiced for two months (separately) outside of the now expired contract for the provision of Oneserve software, associated licenses and support, whilst the required governance processes are carried out for the renewal of the contract. The three year contract expired on 06.01.26.
Invoice for 07.01.26 – 06.02.26 = £5098.55 plus VAT
Invoice for 07.02.26 – 06.03.26 = £5098.55 plus VAT

This will not be affected by LGR as the invoiced period is just two months, these being January 2026 and February 2026. Whilst there are LGR considerations required as part of the Oneserve contract renewal, this decision relates solely to a two month period which is unaffected by LGR.
