27/11/2024 - Procurement Plan/ Higher Value Contracts and Social Value Update

To enable Cabinet to exercise its strategic oversight of higher value planned procurement projects, in accordance with the constitution.

Cabinet will consider the following:

Contract Title: General Network Refresh

Contract Title: Finance ERP System

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Lead officer: Martin Skipsey

Notice of decision: 27/11/2024

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
Contract Title: General Network Refresh
Cabinet is required to consider this matter in December in order to access preferential pricing for the project. Preferential pricing has been held until the end of December so it is impracticable to defer the decision until it has been included in the next Forward Plan.

Contract Title: Finance ERP System

In order to access significantly improved pricing and to avoid the Finance ERP System going ‘unsupported’ by the end of 2024, the Cabinet will need to determine whether to make a direct award of contract. Although this contract was included on the Annual Procurement Plan approved in March 2024, the route to market has changed and therefore requires further approval. It is impracticable to defer the decision until it has been included in the next Forward Plan.

As per paragraph 3.140(b) the Chair of the Overview & Scrutiny Committee has been informed of this alteration to the Forward Plan by the Proper Officer.

Anticipated restriction: Open
