Decision details

RESOLVED:

9.1 Cabinet granted a waiver of the Council’s Standing Orders for the award of contracts to enable the direct award of a contract to Capgemini for system integration work and services.

9.2 Cabinet approved the award of a contract to Capgemini to undertake system integration work and services as mentioned in paragraph 1.5 of the Cabinet report at an estimated contract value of £488k for the Brent element. In addition, there is a minimum charge of approximately £25k for each of the other OneOracle partner Councils who choose to join Brent for system hosting, thus potentially an additional £150k, all of which will be met by the other Councils and is not a charge that Brent would need to be met from Brent budgets. Total potential value of the Capgemini contract overall is estimated at £650k if all other partner councils opt in.

9.3 Cabinet authorised the delegation of authority to the Strategic Director of

Resources for the purpose of negotiation and agreement of:

a)    terms of contract to be agreed with Capgemini as referred to in paragraph 2.2

b)    matters of intellectual property rights (IPR) and licence of Capgemini IPR for Brent and other OneOracle partner authorities (and other authorities) which may wish to use Brent’s IT services in future; and

c)    terms of service to be offered by Brent and charging arrangements in relation to potential opportunities for Brent to provide hosting, support and archiving IT services to OneOracle partner authorities and other third party authorities.
