The Council is implementing a new Integrated
People Solution that encompasses adult and children social care
with associated portals and financial and education management.
This will replace key systems such as Carefirst, Liquidlogic and
Capita One. The support contract for Liquidlogic ends 31 October,
2018 and no alternative arrangements were made given they are one
of the leading suppliers and therefore submitted a tender for the
integrated solution. Children's Social Care is due to go live
initially in June 2019 but the associated portals will take longer
and there are issues such as data archiving to sort out. Also, as
with all business critical technology implementations there are
many risks around this programme of work, the biggest being data
quality and migration. Therefore it makes sense to build in a
sensible amount of contingency with regard to support for the
current system.
Decision Maker: Assistant Director of Customers, Digital and ICT
Decision published: 07/12/2018
Effective from: 19/10/2018
Decision:
To procure a Liquidlogic support contract for
2 years at a cost of £181, 636.

The items of plant have been identified as
required immediately, prior and outside the current Fleet
Replacement Programme which is being prepared for Cabinet. The
replacement of these large plant items is critical to front line
delivery, and they have now exceeded their life expectancy, and are
proving unreliable and uneconomic to repair.
User sections have/will have to hire in machines to cover critical
services of replacements are not purchased. Hiring in is not cost
effective to the authority.
