Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose: to approve the system procurement
Cabinet considered the head of corporate services’ report on the need to procure a new IT solution for the housing and homelessness service. The intention was to upgrade current systems to run on a cloud-based platform. A procurement exercise would ensue; the estimated costs were detailed in an exempt appendix, which Cabinet noted.
Cabinet supported the proposal noting that it aligned with the recently adopted technology strategy and should bring efficiencies. Cabinet noted that the management of mobile home rent would become part of the new system.
RESOLVED: to
(b) agree the procurement route by which to procure an IT solution for the housing and homelessness service using the Government GCloud 12 Framework Agreement;
(c) authorise the head of corporate services, in consultation with the relevant Cabinet member, to award the contract and enter into the contract and any ancillary documents; and
(d) note the transfer of the mobile homes site rents into the housing IT system for future management of those customer accounts.
