Permission to procure and award a contract for
the continued provision of an Electronic Document and Records
Management System for the Revenues and Benefits service and
required upgrades/improvements for a three-year term with an
optional 1 year extension and a value of circa £300,000.

Reasons for the decision

The current contract runs to the 1st September
2025, with no options to extend. This procurement allows the
continuation of vital services for the Council until aggregation of
systems are addressed as part of a wider programme of works for the
council.

Alternative options considered

Do nothing, bring in-house and an open
procurement exercise has been considered, but discounted on the
basis that the Council requires service continuation from 1
September 2025.
