Purpose

Seeking approval from Exec Board to allow
spend on the procurement and implementation of a new property asset
management solution based on Microsoft Dynamics to tie in with the
wider transformation work which is ongoing across the Council via
the CBT (Core Business Transformation) programme.
 
The new solution will replace the current
outdated system used to manage the leased-out estate, which is
approx. 25 years old and lacks desired functionality.
 
The proposal includes a budget of approx.
£1.7 million for the procurement, implementation, and first
year worth of licenses. This will be funded through additional
capital receipts funding the wider transformation programme.
 
Further to this, as a subsequent endeavour, a
Phase 2 is also being requested, with the aim of incorporating
wider operational estate information into the new solution
following the embedding of the solution for the leased-out estate
(Phase1).
