Variation to the Council's Operational Services Agreement (Peterborough Serco Strategic Partnership Contract): Modification to scope of the PSSP Contract - Agresso Service Support element - AUG20/CMDN/24

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The Cabinet Member:

 

1.         Authorised a variation to the Council's Operational Services Agreement (Peterborough Serco Strategic Partnership Contract) (“PSSP Contract”) whereby the Agresso Service Support element is removed from the PSSP Contract’s scope with effect from 1 October 2020.

Reasons for the decision:

The Agresso team provide support for the Agresso finance system which is used by the Council. This is a critical business system that underpins the whole activity of the Council. All other Council business systems are supported through the ICT team.  Due to expiry of the Managed ICT contract on 30 September 2020, thereafter the ICT team and all business systems’ support will be delivered in-house. Therefore, there is a strong case for the Agresso team to be part of this move in-house so that all the Council’s business systems are supported in a consistent and coherent way through an in-house service.   

Alternative options considered:

For the Agresso Service Support to remain within the PSSP contract’s scope, however this option was discounted as from 1 October 2020 all business systems’ support shall be delivered within the internal ICT team.  

Interests and Nature of Interests Declared:

None.

Background Documents:
