## Description
The decision to implement the Proactis invoicing functionality for the London Borough of Sutton and the Royal Borough of Kingston Business World (Unit4) finance service is based on a technological fit and cost efficiency.
This direct procurement approach is financially advantageous given the Direct Purchase Cost (Proactis) is £33,125 compared to £50,000 for a purchase through other providers. 
This is to support a finance system that was procurement by the London borough of Sutton for services provided to the London Borough of Sutton and the Royal Borough of Kingston. 
This strategy achieves a £17,000 cost mitigation for the Council's professional services requirement procurement cost, representing a 34% reduction compared to purchasing the professional services through Unit4.
In summary, selecting Proactis ensures a well-integrated, vendor-supported solution that leverages existing technology roadmaps, while the split procurement strategy delivers a significant financial saving on professional services.
