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.
