A call-in waiver was agreed by
the Chair of Overview & Scrutiny Committee.

Reasons for the decision

This award is a critical
component of the Transformation Plan and is key to enabling the
delivery of the Target Operating Model projects and overseeing the
other transformation programmes.  This
award is for a partner to support the Transformation Management
Office oversee the delivery of the numerous projects in the
transformation plan at pace and to ensure effective governance and
benefits realisation.
 
The preferred bidder best met
the council’s requirements being the highest scoring quality
bid by a large margin.  Quality
represented 50% of the evaluation criteria.
 

Alternative options considered

Alternative options were set
out in the approved strategy report. The main alternative option is
at this stage to appoint or not.  This
award of work is critical to ensuring delivery of the
Council’s transformation plan and therefore should
proceed.
