A friend is in a similar situation, they work for a small, state government (US) agency and pay for the only solution on the market. My friend often complains about the software and lack of support. The kicker is they’re only paying $25k a year to use it.
I think this is the lens OP should be using. A small team of “in house” developers is going to start at close to $1 million a year (a senior and a couple of mids; adjust for European salaries of course) with someone already on staff managing and defining the product. Does OP have anyone who can lead the effort?
