Decision details

Extension of the current contract with IEG4 for the supply of Social Fund SaaS system (ODD/025/2021)

Decision Maker: Executive Director Adults and Communities

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

Authority given to extend the contract for up to 2 years at a cost of £14000 p/a, initially to run from 01/04/2021 to 31/03/2022 with the option to extend to 31/03/2023 if required.

 

Reasons for the decision:

The system is to provide an electronic method of recording and managing claims for Local Welfare Assistance (LWA).  The service have been reviewing the scheme with the options being to cease the Scheme (in which case the system will not be required) or to continue to fund the Scheme but use Requestry.  Neither of these options have been explored due to the impact of COVID-19 and further time is needed to allow the service to make an informed decision. 

 

Alternative options considered:

Do Nothing – the current contract would end on 31/03/2021 and would leave BMBC without an electronic method of managing LWA in place.  This is not an option.
