Decision number: 2022/21
Author and Job Role: Kelvin Menon – OPCC Treasurer
Protective Marking: OFFICIAL
Summary:
This decision relates to the approval of capital and revenue funding for an upgrade to the current ERP system. The Strategic Change Board considered a number of options but the Chief Constable’s decision was to upgrade the system as the risk of failure was increasing and this was the quickest deliverable option.
Decision:
The Commissioner approved funding to enable procurement to commence. This is conditional that
- the financial costs of the programme are contained within the agreed and available budget;
- if, following procurement and due diligence, the cost of the project exceeds the capital budget by 10% and the revenue budget by 10%, the decision will be revalidated and and presented again to the Commissioner for approval
- an amendment is made to the accounting policy for the ERP asset to spread the asset life of the upgraded solution over a five-year period (as opposed to three years as is permitted in the current policy)
- monthly updates will be provided to the Commissioner on the progress of the project.
The full decision will be published once the procurement has been completed.
