Coventry City Council is pressing ahead with plans which could see them pay £4.3m to kit out its staff with Microsoft computer software, despite fears it is being "held to ransom" by the computing giant.
The cabinet has agreed to renew a three-year licence with Microsoft when the council's existing £823,000-a-year deal expires next March.
A like-for-like renewal is now estimated to set them back £1,073,000 per year – a 30% increase – with further £365,000-a-year costs for a Skype licence pushing the total for three years to £4.3m.
At a council meeting, leader George Duggins said the local authority was caught "between a rock and a hard place" due to a lack of alternative suppliers.
Microsoft has previously said it would not be commenting on the claims.
