Decision Maker: GM Deputy Mayor, Treasurer GMCA

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

Procurement legislation requires GMP to award a new contract for these goods and services. The recommended route of the CCS RM6259 framework, Lot 5: Blue Light Solutions framework, provides the most effective route to market.

Decision:

The Deputy Mayor approves the direct award of a 4 year and 6 month contract for the provision of the data warehouse reporting tool and legacy data store, to Capita Consulting, with the option to extend for a further 2 x 1 year. The likely value of 6.5 years spend would be circa £2.03m.

Alternative options considered:

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