Report of the Strategic Director of Housing and Customer Services

Presented by the Corporate Portfolio Holder

The Corporate Portfolio Holder presented the report to Members.

He advised that the current finance system required to be replaced due to its age and issues with functionality and that in order to have the existing system in place until a new system had been procured, the exemption had been granted on the basis that only one supplier could provide the service. He informed Members that the 2 year contract was valued at £120,000 and that the funding for the replacement system had been agreed in the 2018/19 budget.

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

RESOLVED THAT:

The grant of an exemption to the Council’s Contract Procedure rule 6.4 to allow the award of a contract for support and maintenance of its existing finance system on the grounds that only one supplier was available for technical reasons be noted.

Reason for decision: To ensure the contract for the Council’s finance system is compliant.
