5. Approval of ICT procurements with a whole life contract value of over £250k: HR & Payroll System |
(Pages 27 - 32) |
|
|
|
The report presents details of a procurement to renew or replace a core ICT system in the council with a whole life contract value of over £250k. This is defined as a non-key routine procurement as per the council’s contract procedure rules and expenditure will fall within existing capital and revenue budget provisions. The details of the reprocurement of the council’s HR and Payroll system is contained at the annex to this report.
Exceptionally this is a retrospective report to meet the requirement for transparency regarding procurements of this nature. In this case due to contract renewal timescales and the critical nature of the system involved it has not been possible to present details of this procurement at a scheduled Executive member Decision Session in advance (approved instead by published officer decision in line with the council’s Constitution).
