## Description
Gloucestershire County Council (“the council”) is looking to purchase a commercial off the shelf (COTS) package.
To the council a COTS package means a solution already built and which will only require minor tweaks primarily concerning the required branding.
For the avoidance of doubt, the council is not looking to procure a development contract.
The system will be managed by the Communications Team and used by services throughout the council for both internal and external email communications.
