Decision:
The Director of Resources gave approval to incur expenditure of £8,180K on the 2023/24 programmes,
· Scheme 33232/000/000. £5,680k essential corporate ICT infrastructure upgrades (ESP) for 2023/24.
· Scheme 33233/000/000. £2,500k consisting of essential work required to the Council’s key business applications to ensure they are up to date and compliant and to fund Digital Efficiencies. This includes investments to ensure compliancy for GDPR and PSN. This significant investment in the Cyber agenda will help ensure that the ongoing threat to our information and systems is minimised. Expenditure will allow the council to retire and replace end of life and non-compliant critical corporate reporting capabilities. It will also allow the council to have a planned programme of application consolidation, refresh and retirement which will afford the potential for financial savings in hardware, software, support and maintenance costs and will keep the estate compliant.
This expenditure includes the engagement of specialist internal and external resources and the associated project management to implement this scheme.
