Costs

Your Obligations

Apart from paying the invoice, all we ask is that you keep us up to date – tell us if there is a new Clerk or RFO, or if you have a new office or email address.

All Scribe software for UK local councils is provided for an all-inclusive annual licence fee

Low Risk

The low-cost licence provides a low-risk strategy for new customers. If you are concerned about investing in IT systems, a low-cost licence is preferable to a high purchase cost on day one. There is no obligation to renew the licence, and if you choose not to continue you will have only invested in a single year’s fee. Of course we believe that you will welcome the opportunity to continue to enjoy the benefits of Scribe software.

Support

The annual fee includes our support services. Some suppliers charge extra for this, and add a support fee after the first year. With Scribe 2000, you know from the start what your costs will be.

Upgrades

The annual fee includes all upgrades and enhancements, for whatever reason. You will not be charged extra even for major changes. For instance there has been no charge for changes required by various Accounts and Audit Regulations, or for migration to new Windows operating systems or new database platforms. With other software, you may have to purchase an update at a later date, but with Scribe 2000 you can predict your costs.

Extra Charges

There aren’t any. There are no hidden costs associated with using Scribe software.

Please ask for details of current prices. Different fees apply across the range of software and fees for Accounts are also banded according to the size of the Council. This is measured by budget turnover in the same way as Councils are banded under the Regulations. As a guide, a typical Council might expect a fully inclusive fee for Accounts from as little as £195 per year.
