Purpose

On 7th February 2023, Cabinet approved the
Executive Director – Growth and Regeneration, in consultation
with Cabinet Member for Housing Delivery and Homes, to take all
steps required to extend the current contracts for Housing IT
support services at a cost of up to £600k, should the Housing
IT and Transformation programme not be fully implemented before
they expire.
The implementation of new systems will not be complete by 30th
April 2024, therefore a 1 year extension to the existing contract
is required.
This decision is to authorise spend above the previously agreed
limit as the extension proposal included an unexpected cost
associated with license fees.
This further expenditure has been approved in consultation with the
Cabinet member for Housing Services and Energy.
