Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
This report seeks Cabinet approval to proceed with appropriate procurement activities to replace or upgrade the existing SAP system at Surrey County Council.
RESOLVED:
3. That a report would be brought back to Cabinet to seek approval to award a contract to the successful supplier following procurement activities and to approve implementation based on a full business case including firm costs was noted.
Reason for Decision:
The recommendation was to progress a vendor neutral Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) corporate system procurement to enable the council to fully evaluate the solution options available, to best meet its requirements and to drive best value for money through market competition. This approach would also enable the council to compare suppliers’ implementation approaches, and in so doing to best inform planning to minimise disruption for the organisation during the implementation phase.
