Civica out?

Lachlan and Forbes Shire Councils, in the west of NSW, this week issued identical tenders for "the provision of computer systems and services as part of a total replacement and upgrade of the current Civica 2000Plus Corporate Information System". Does that mean they're throwing Civica out, or can Civica be a contender via an upgrade? In addition to the functionality Civica offers, they're also looking for "new functionally that [Council] does not currently have application software for i.e. Asset Management System, Human Resources System, Customer Request Management System and E-commerce".

This activity seems to be "flavour of the month". Blacktown City Council only recently advertised for consultants to help them prepare an RFI for the replacement of their legacy whole-of-government software application. Consultants such as those listed in our side panel may find themselves quite busy.
