Decision Made:

3 The variation of the contract referred to in Recommendation 1 to include the provision of Managed Print Services to Brent Council for the duration of the extended contract term.

Reasons for Decision (if a report was produced to support the Decision, attach it): |
|
|
Details of any Alternative Options Considered and rejected (together with reasons): |
The decision enables Brent and Lewisham’s print requirements to be included in a single contract. Retendering of Brent’s Managed Print Service requirements was considered, and rejected on the basis that the discounts to be achieved by amalgamating print volumes with Lewisham could not be achieved through a retender of Brent’s service. Under the IT Shared Service agreement Brent is responsible for managing contracts on behalf of both authorities, procuring new contracts jointly and consolidating existing contracts where possible, and this decision supports this approach. |
