Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
RESOLVED:
KEY DECISION
That the
Executive: a) Authorised commencement of procurement for productivity and infrastructure software licences for North Northamptonshire Council
b) Delegated authority to the Executive Member for Finance and Transformation in consultation with the Director of Transformation, to take any further decisions and /or actions required to conclude the procurement, contract award and implementation of the Council’s software licensing.
|
Reasons for Recommendations:
a) To unify all of our legacy software agreements into a single North Northamptonshire Council contract
b) To enable the service to employ the most effective and compliant route to renew the Council’s license agreements
c) To allow the organisation to continue its business day to day running through its use of the productivity and infrastructure licencing.
|
Alternative Options Considered: The option to do nothing and continue without a contract was considered but discounted as not a viable option. The current contract for software licences will end in August 2022, thereby leaving the Council without service and liable to challenge unless procured through a compliant route
