Decision details

GMP DN A1117 PGG Report - Mobile Applications, ESB, Dashboard and Development

Decision Maker: GM Deputy Mayor, Group Finance Officer

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The mobile application has been developed with HCL over the past contract term and is now considered a critical application embedded within Operational practices.

The Crown Commercial services G-Cloud 13 framework permits an award via a call off search based on GMPs requirements and falls within budget.

Decision:

The Deputy Mayor approves the award of a 3 year contract for Mobile Policing Application, Enterprise Service Bus, Dashboard and System Developments, to HCL, with the option to extend for a further 1 year. The likely value of 4 years spend would be circa £8.6 million.

Alternative options considered:

- Do nothing - rejected as non-compliant with Procurement Legislations and Chief Constable's Financial Instructions
- Undertake a bespoke procurement exercise - rejected as suitable framework is available
- Extend current arrangements - rejected as non-compliant with Procurement Legislation and Chief Constable's Financial Instructions
