Decision details

The Resources Portfolio Holder and Service Director Performance and Innovation submitted a report seeking approval to invest in the Digital Transformation Arrangements (DTA) with Microsoft for a three year period.

Decision taken

The portfolio holder agreed that the council enter into a three year agreement for the DTA and gave approval to deal with the agreement under the exemption to Contract Procedures contained within the Financial Regulations and Financial Procedure Rules on the grounds that exemptions may apply where “a framework agreement is available that necessitates the Council not having to go out to tender and the goods, works and services will still provide the Council with best value for money”.
