The report from the Director of Housing and Community Care requested authority to award a support and maintenance contract in respect of “frameworki", the Council’s Adult and Children Social Care Case Management IT System and sought approval not to invite tenders in accordance with Contract Standing Order 86 (e)(i). Councillor R Moher (Lead Member, Adults and Health) advised that the original contract, having been awarded to Corelogic had now expired. Options had been explored and it had been concluded to remain with the current provider as staff were already trained and new functions were in the process of being added to the system. Additionally, Corelogic owned the intellectual property rights and were unwilling to give third party access rights to the software.

The Executive also had before it an appendix to the report which was not for publication as it contained the following category of exempt information as specified in Paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972, namely:

Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information).

RESOLVED:-

(i)         that approval be given to award a support and maintenance contract in respect of frameworki to Corelogic Ltd for a term of five year with an optional two year extension from 1 June 2011;

(ii)        that approval be given to tenders not being invited in accordance with Contract Standing Order 86 (e) (i) for the reasons detailed in paragraph 3.7 of the report from the Director of Housing and Community Care.
