Decision details

Alignment of Case Management System across the South & East Lincolnshire Councils Partnership

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To implement a common Case Management System across the Partnership to realise efficiency savings through the alignment of teams and technology

Decision:

1)    That the addition of £322,940 to the Council’s Capital Programme be approved, to enable the project’s delivery, to be financed as described in paragraph 2.8; and

 

2)    That the addition of the projected savings to the Council’s multi-year savings and transformation plan, as overseen by the Leader and Portfolio Holder, be approved.

Reasons for the decision:

·       To deliver efficiency savings against current system costs;

·       To facilitate the alignment of Planning and Regulatory Service Directorates to enable the services to achieve greater savings in their operating costs by working as ‘one’ across the Partnership).

 

Alternative options considered:

·       Do nothing – this would not enable savings to be realised and was not an option for South Holland District Council due to the current planning system soon ceasing to operate;

·       For the Council to procure its own standalone systems – this would not enable savings to be realised.

Reason Key: Incurring expenditure above £75,000 threshold in respect of revenue/£180,000 in respect of capital;

Equalities Issues: N/A
