Issue - decisions

Resolved:

                          i.        Noted STEP progress to date and approved the commissioning of the STEP Data Platform so the procurement may be completed under officer delegated authority.

Reasons:

·        Commissioning the STEP Data Platform will allow CoYC to fulfil the grant funding conditions.

·         A Transport Data Platform Prototype has proven the concept and technical integrations work, removing a lot of technical risk.

·        A Procurement exercise has been carried out, so contract costs are known.

·        A feed of live transport Data from the Prototype has been used by the Government to track COVID travel patterns and has positively raised the profile of CoYC.

·        The STEP Data Platform requires a robust industrial solution to ensure future support and reliability not supported with the Prototype.
