Decision details

The Cabinet Member for Corporate and Democratic Services is proposing to authorise the Director of Infrastructure, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Corporate and Democratic Services, to award contract/s for the provision of Microsoft licences, including the necessary contractual negotiations, and enter into any subsequent necessary legal agreements.

This proposed decision is aligned to the Council’s ICT Strategy. The award of the contract/s for Microsoft licence provision will allow the Council to continue to use appropriate technology so that business units can continue to function efficiently to deliver services to the citizens of Kent.

As Cabinet Member for Corporate and Democratic Services, I agree to progress with the award of contracts with Microsoft for the Enterprise Agreement and Server Cloud Enrolment and delegate to the Director of Infrastructure in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Corporate and Democratic Services to finalise the necessary contractual negotiations and enter into any subsequent necessary legal agreements.
