Purpose

To provide an overview of the review of the 3C
ICT Service that was commissioned by all three partner councils
(Huntingdonshire District Council, South Cambridgeshire District
Council, Cambridge City Council), to provide the key options to
address the concerns and meet the ICT and digital requirements of
the three partner councils and to provide sufficient data and
analysis to enable the three partner councils to jointly agree a
preferred option.

(a) 
noted the final report submitted by Triple Value Impact (TVI) as
per the exempt Appendix 1 to the report now submitted; and
(b) 
agreed to the recommended Option 1 (redesigned 3C ICT and Digital,
Lead Authority remains HDC) and has delegated the responsibility
for finalising the scope and detailed nature of the new agreement
and associated activities to the Chief Executives and respective
Portfolio Holders for each partnership council reporting on
progress through the revised member board.
