Minutes:

Councillor Margaret McLennan, Deputy Leader of the Council, introduced the report seeking authority to award four contracts for ICT Network Infrastructure as required by Contract Standing Order 88. Councillor McLennan stated that in order to achieve aspirations to generate additional income through the provision of IT services to other organisations, Brent needed a network that was not only reliable and secure, but also one that would allow the council to scale to more sites and devices without loss of performance, while allowing it flexibility in segregating organisations from each other. The report summarised the tender process undertaken and following the evaluation of bids, made recommendations for the award of the four contracts.

The Cabinet also had before them an appendix to the report that was not for publication as it contains the following category of exempt information as specified in Paragraph 3, Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, namely: “Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information)”
