RE: What to look for in a CMS.

Also, a cheeky question.what sort of prices should I be expecting? I
know this will vary tremendously, but a ball park figure to report to
"the people who decide" would be good.
 
We are looking for supply (+ license) and some training of the CMS and a
few templates designed to get us started.
 
We have the spec and cost for the hosting server.
 
TIA

Apart from what others have suggested:

Migration - ease of transferring your current website to the new system,
and
(looking to the future) ease of migrating from the new system to a later
one, possibly achieved by your new system using a non-proprietary
DTD/schema.

Archiving - government agencies typically have more stringent
requirements
for archiving their Web resources.

Good luck
