The Assistant Director is recommended to:
Authorise permission to procure and award a
contract for the continued provision of an Income Management and
Payment System for the Allerdale
service teams for a Three-year term with a single period of + 2
year extension and a value of circa £190,935

Reasons for the decision

The current contract runs to the 30th September 2025, with no options to extend. This
procurement allows the continuation of services for the departments
until aggregation of systems are addressed as part of a wider
programme of works for the council.

Alternative options considered

A full open procurement exercise has been
considered, however, due to the wider system requirements, scale
and technical complexity of implementing a new system for this
service area as well as aggregation to create a single solution,
this is not achievable by 30th September 2025 when the current
contract ends.
