The making of a decision on the Software Contract for Payroll and HR Administration by the Leader of the Council is urgent and cannot reasonably be deferred for the following summary reasons:
1. The existing software contract for payroll and HR administration expires on 30 September 2023
2. The unanticipated expiry of the preferred procurement framework agreement
3. Delays in the provision of information from the contractor
4. Approval is required before the expiry of the contract and cannot be reasonably deferred.
That authority be given to the Executive Head of Organisational Development to award a Software Contract for Payroll and HR Administration.
To enable the continuance of Payroll software arrangements.
An alternative viable procurement framework was discounted on the basis of being considerably more costly.
