Minutes:
(Mr Pearson, Interim Head of Service for Libraries, Registration and Archives (LRA), attended the meeting for this item).
1. Mr Hill introduced the item and said that in his view the paper presented a very clear way forward and he strongly supported the recommendation.
2. Mr Pearson then outlined the report which summarised the preferred option for the renewal of the library management system. He said that on Page 34 of the agenda, in table two (Library Borrowers by Age Band 2015), there had been an error. The figures for the age range 20-59, under Kent Population should be 56,840, with a percentage of 11.60%. He stated that this would be corrected in an updated Equality Impact Assessment.
3. Mr Pearson then responded to a question from a Member and stated that market engagement had taken place for the system, and other suppliers were considered through a supplier engagement process, but none of the other suppliers could meet the requirements to the same extent as SPYDUS.
4. RESOLVED that the proposed decision of the Cabinet Member for Community Services to sign the contract with the existing contractor procured through the LASA framework, be endorsed.
