Hi Mark,

The only addition that I would suggest is to item 15: ask for access to 
premises for events all around the county.

I had a read of the two documents on the council web site. If there is 
any follow-up on this questionnaire, I think we should continue to push 
the Total Cost Of Ownership angle. Mention the Munich city example where 
they took control of their IT planning which allowed them to both reduce 
costs and minimise unnecessary spend on hardware.
