This report seeks approval to
award the Council’s Land and Property-based IT case
management system contract to commence operation no later than 20th
March 2023 following a comprehensive and compliant procurement
process.
The migration to the new supplier is complex and will involve
multiple services across Planning and Regulatory
services.
Reasons for urgency:
To ensure continuity of the planning and regulatory services reliant on this new IT system, it is essential to ensure there is sufficient time to complete the migration to the new supplier before the existing contract expires. The contract needs to be awarded urgently to enable this complex migration work and system testing to commence. In light of the cancellation of the April Cabinet meeting, delaying the decision until the next scheduled meeting would place the programme under significant risk.
Decision type: Key
Reason Key: Expenditure/Income - Revenue between £500,000 and £5m and Capital between £1.5m and £5m;
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Wards affected: (All Wards);
