Decision details

GMP DN - A0965 Financial & Personal Data Services

Decision Maker: GM Deputy Mayor, Group Finance Officer

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

Procurement legislation requires GMP to tender for these goods and services. The recommended route provides the most effective route to market.

Decision:

The Deputy Mayor approves the award of contracts for Financial & Personal Data Services to Experian Ltd and Recipero Ltd, each for 3 years with the option to extend for a further 12 months. The likely value of the max contract period of four years spend, across both contracts, would be circa £551,000.

Alternative options considered:

• Do nothing – rejected as non-compliant with Procurement Legislation and Chief Constable’s Financial Instructions.
• Undertake a bespoke procurement exercise – rejected as there is a suitable framework available (CCS GCloud).
• Extend current arrangements – rejected as non-compliant with Procurement Legislation and Chief Constable’s Financial Instructions.
