Purpose

To seek Executive approval for the renewal of the Housing Department’s software system contract.

The report provides the Executive with information on the renewal of the software contract for the Housing Department.

There are currently three contracts covering the system used for Housing.  However, these are all with the same supplier and cover different housing function modules.

It is proposed to bring all three contracts into one.  The Executive is invited to comment on the details given in this report and is requested to approve the principle of renewing the contract.

Decision

RESOLVED that the Executive agrees that:

(a)  the contract for providing the software for the Housing Department is renewed; and

(b)  delegated authority be given to the Director of Housing, following consultation with the Executive Member for Housing, to enter into the contract.
