Council is asked to consider a recommendation from the Corporate Policy and Resources Committee to approve the procurement of a new website.

This report contains exempt information within the meaning of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972, as amended by the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985 and by the Local Government (Access to information) (Variation) Order 2006 Paragraph 3 – Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information) and in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information because, disclosure to the public would prejudice the financial position of the authority in any contract or other type of negotiation with the proposed provider who could then know the position of the Council.

The Committee is asked to consider the procurement of a new website.

The Committee resolved to recommend to Council that it:

1.     Agrees a supplementary Capital budget for a new website,

2.    Agree to proceed with the procurement of a new website,

3.    Authorise the Head of Communications and Customer Engagement to carry out the procurement in accordance with Contract Standing Orders; and

4.    Authorise the Group Head of Corporate Governance to enter into any legal documentation necessary to implement the new contract and approve the proposed spend under the contract.
