Report of the Director of Housing

Presented by the Housing Portfolio Holder

The Housing Portfolio Holder presented the report to Members.

He reported that as the four main ICT systems utilised by the housing service were coming to the end of their contractual agreements, an appraisal of the systems was undertaken by external consultants in 2017.  A number of weaknesses were found with the current systems and it was recommended to procure a single system if it was possible to meet all of the requirements.  It was proposed that the Competitive Dialogue Route for procurement commence in March 2018 with the contract awarded in August 2018.

It was moved by Councillor R D Bayliss, seconded by Councillor N J Rushton and

RESOLVED THAT:

The authority to procure and award a contract for replacement ICT systems for Housing be delegated to the Director of Housing in consultation with the Portfolio Holder.

Reason for decision: The level of expenditure in this contract exceeds the authority threshold in the Scheme of Delegation.
