PLBC Replacement IT System pdf icon PDF 106 KB

To provide the Joint Committee with information relating to the proposed procurement of a single integrated PLBC IT system to replace the existing separate IT systems serving each current office base location with a view to seeking further Joint Committee approval to re-commence invitations to tender and subsequent procurement of such a system following due diligence and defined BwD Corporate purchasing/ IT requirements.

 

Minutes:

Purpose

To provide the Joint Committee with information relating to the proposed procurement of a single integrated PLBC IT system to replace the existing separate IT systems serving each current office base location with a view to seeking further Joint Committee approval to re-commence invitations to tender and subsequent procurement of such a system following due diligence and defined BwD Corporate purchasing/ IT requirements.

 

Reason For Decision

The current separate two IT system operation is evidenced as being inefficient and out-of-date; the previous BwD Business Case Cost/ Benefit Impact analysis has documented appropriate and measurable quantified and intangible benefits if a new single PLBC IT system is procured.

 

If the IT system position remains the same with a “do nothing” approach significant risks and issues have been identified which would further disadvantage PLBC business operations.       

 

An up-to-date and modern PLBC IT system will allow measurable improvements to be made to both client and staff experiences. It is anticipated such an IT system will greatly assist PLBC, helping to sustain and maximise income generation as it continues to operate within an ever-increasing competitive Building Control environment.

A new modern up-dated IT system will also meet both respective Partner Corporate digital strategies.

 

Decision

That the report information be noted and the procurement of a replacement IT system following due diligence and defined BwD Corporate purchasing/ IT requirements be approved.
