Agenda item

Noted progress and requested further report to October Cabinet meeting.

The Cabinet considered a report on the current status of the  proposal to relocate the Council Computer Room from the Town Hall to a new location as part of  the Council’s Accommodation Strategy.  The Interim Strategic Director of Resources advised that this was a holding report as a comprehensive piece of work was being undertaken with regard to the Computer Room Disaster Recovery Plans and increasing reliance on IT.  The Director advised that it was vital that the way forward in respect of these revised facilities dovetailed in with the agreed way forward for local government Shared Services.  As shared services would be reported to the Cabinet in October it was proposed to complete the outstanding procurement and contractual arrangements for the Computer Room relocation alongside the report recommending the way forward for Shared Services.

Resolved -    To note the progress made to date and that a further report would be submitted to the October Cabinet meeting.
