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.Please contact bethan.dyke@wales.nhs.uk for a copy of the PME document for completion.
