1) The Decision:

1.1. That the Chief Executive and the County Treasurer in consultation with the Leader be authorised to award the HPSN contract on behalf of the County Council and that the Chief Executive and County Treasurer be authorised to place an initial order through the Framework contract and any other orders against the framework, subject to any such order being within the approved financial framework for the contract.

2) Reasons for the decision

2.1. The existing contract to supply Corporate HPSN will end in November 2009, and the Schools HPSN which is a phased contract ends between Spring 2009 and September 2010. It is necessary to seek approval for delegated authority to award the Framework Agreement once the preferred contractor has been recommended so that the planning and rollout can commence swiftly to achieve the November 2009 deadline.

2.2. The governance arrangements for the management of the contract have been developed and agreed by the HPSN2 Procurement Board, endorsed by Hampshire County Council and approved by Executive Member Policy and Resources on 29 January 2009. The Council is the Lead Authority in the Partnership and as such must sign the Framework Agreement with the successful Contractor, and place the initial orders for shared infrastructure and Hampshire County Council services.
