Decision details

Place, Planning & Regeneration (PPR) Systems Replacement

Decision Maker: Executive Member for Culture, Delivery and Public Protection

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

Key decision to approve the strategy procurement plan for replacement of a set of systems currently supplied by IDOX in the PPR directorate that are no longer fit for purpose. The replacement solution to be hosted in the Cloud.

Decision:

The procurement of a suite of replacement applications (through the Crown Commercial Service Framework RM1557.13) to support key services in the Directorate: Place, Planning and Regeneration is approved.

 

Reasons for the decision:

There is a time pressure for the procurement and implementation of this applications suite because current systems are failing, and this is impacting on service delivery. Utilising an existing framework allows the procurement to meet the timeframes required (Target delivery date June 2024). G Cloud Framework has identified four suppliers potentially capable of delivering a replacement system. The alternative of advertising is likely to generate numerous (hopeful) responses which would require significant officer time to review, compromising the timeframe.
