DECISIONS

 

70.2     The Lead Member RESOLVED to:

 

1) Note the feedback and conclusions from the Orbis staff consultations;

 

2) Agree to proceed with a sovereign only model for IT & Digital (IT&D) and Procurement, and a shared model with Brighton & Hove City Council for Internal Audit; and

 

3) Delegate authority to the Chief Operating Officer, to take all actions necessary to give effect to the recommendations in the report.

 

REASON

 

70.3     The reviews of the Orbis IT&D, Procurement and Internal Audit functions concluded that given the significant changes to the operating context, the current models no longer meet the current and emerging requirements of East Sussex County Council (including known and potential future changes due to Local Government Reorganisation).
