Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

The council is in contract with TMI Systems Limited for the provision of Verto, a project, programme and portfolio management system. The council uses the system to support the management of its portfolio of projects and programmes, with users across the council. The contract includes an extension clause for a further year, which the council is exercising.

Reasons for the decision:

To continue to provide the project management system, supporting delivery and governance of the council's projects, programmes and portfolios.

Alternative options considered:

Consideration has been given to implementing a new system to manage projects at the council, however the current system is operating well and is configured appropriately for the council's requirements and the adopted project, programme and portfolio management lifecycle. At this point, implementing a new system is not regarded as being appropriate or conducive to achieving best value.
