Decision

That the Director of Corporate Services be given delegated authority to approve the contract for the Human Resources Information System identified through the procurement process to ensure a seamless transition for the payroll service.

Reasons for the decision

If the Council does not have a payroll supplier in place, the Council would not be able to pay Torbay Council employees, partners (arm length companies) and external customers which would impact on service delivery and discharging some of the Council’s statutory functions.

Alternative options considered

No other options were considered.
