The Director of Resources and Housing submitted a report which sought approval to proceed with the Core Business Transformation programme to the next stage, which would be the procurement phase, and in doing so the report also sought approval to provide the necessary ‘authority to spend’ in order to enable the required procurement activity.
In considering the proposals detailed within the submitted report, it was suggested that the Chief Digital and Information Officer be included in this process, in order to maximise the benefit of the initiative.
RESOLVED –
(a) That approval be given for the Core Business Transformation programme to proceed to the next stage, which is the procurement phase, and in doing so, approval also be given to the authority to spend £1.01M on the required procurement activity;
(b) That it be noted that the Chief Officer (Financial Services) is responsible for this matter (such as supporting the programme to the next stage and steering the £1.01m spend), together with adhering to any timescales involved;
(c) That a report be brought back to Executive Board in 12 months’ time (September 2021), prior to the awarding of a contract to the successful bidder.
