The Cabinet received a report of the Executive
Director (Finance and Transformation).  
 
RESOLVED: 

(unanimous) 
DECISION TAKEN
Cabinet agreed that in
accordance with section 31.2(g) of the contract procedure rules,
Cabinet grant a dispensation to the Contract procedure rules to
allow a direct award to Public-I Group Limited for the provision of
replacement microphones for the webcasting system as it is
considered to the advantage of the Council to do so.
 
REASON FOR THE DECISION 
The microphones that are part of the Council
Chamber facilities, have reached their end of life. A high level of
battery failures had occurred, and it is no longer possible to
source replacement batteries for the current model.
