Document Replacement Finance Management System

The Committee supported the long overdue update of the Council’s principal financial management system, which had been previously delayed due to pandemic related workloads.  It was noted that the proposed facility would operate more efficiently with better integration with a range of systems in use by departments across the Council.  It was hoped that, once the new system had been implemented, a review of processes could be undertaken with a view to making all processes more efficient.

It was resolved that:

1.    The procurement approach (a competitive procurement procedure) for a new Financial Management System be approved.

2.    Authority be delegated to the Assistant Chief Executive (S151), for the Council to enter into a contract of up to 10 years (plus optional extensions of up to 5 years), for the provision of a new Financial Management System up to the value of the sums stated in the officer’s report.
