DECISIONS
80.2 The Lead Member RESOLVED to:
1) Note the strategic review and consultation activity which has led to identifying a Microsoft Teams based telephony as the preferred solution.
2) Note the shared outcomes that this change has with other programmes of work including the opportunity to enhance digital skills, reduce carbon impact and aid building rationalisation.
3) Approve the initiation of procurement activity and delegation of the subsequent contract award to the Chief Operating Officer.
REASONS
80.3 There are a multitude of drivers including contract end dates, ageing hardware and change of working patterns that have resulted in the need for the Council to review options for a replacement telephony service.
