Decision details

Alignment of Case Management System across the South & East Lincolnshire Councils Partnership

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To implement a common Case Management System across the Partnership to realise efficiency savings through the alignment of teams and technology.

Decision:

RESOLVED:

 

1.    That the addition of £339,869 to the Council’s Capital Programme to enable the project’s delivery to be financed, as described in paragraph 2.8 within the report, be approved; and

 

2.    That the addition of the projected savings to the Councils multi-year savings and transformation plan, as overseen by the Finance Portfolio Holder, be approved.

Reasons for the decision:

·       To deliver efficiency savings against current system costs; and

 

·       To facilitate the alignment of Planning and Regulatory Service Directorates to enable the services to achieve greater savings in their operating costs by working as ‘one’ across the Partnership.

Alternative options considered:

·       Do nothing - this wouldn’t enable savings to be realised; or

 

·       For the Council to procure its own standalone systems - this wouldn’t enable savings to be realised.
