Data Migration
Moving data between systems as part of a platform change. 321 UK councils have discussed data migration in monitored meetings — track who, where and how the conversation is moving.
What councils are saying about data migration
Data Migration is one of the procurement themes QuorumInsight tracks across UK local government, detected in 16,680 meeting mentions spanning 321 councils. Every mention comes from an analysed council meeting — a cabinet decision, a committee discussion or a budget report — so this is a picture of what councils are actually planning and debating, not a directory of published tenders.
Discussion has held steady quarter-on-quarter: there were 956 mentions in the last three months, against 915 in the three months before. For suppliers, that matters because activity in a council meeting typically precedes any formal procurement by months. Reading it early is the difference between shaping a requirement and responding to one.
