  • Revised draft contract to incorporate requested changes to liability clauses
  • Procurement colleagues discussed and agreed price review and contract length with external supplier
  • Completed IS Applications contract sign-off checklist
  • Re-sent contract to external supplier for review and sign-off

Issues  

  • There is no confirmed revised date for the People and Money Phase 3 go-live; however a window of October to December has been stated
  • Opportunity - given the P&M dates, the business lead has expressed a preference for a two stage deployment (where P&M users would be in the second stage) - feasibility under discussion
  • As the contract has not yet been signed off, the RAG this month is shown as AMBER due to Time.

Next Steps

  • Sign contract
  • Meeting to be  planned with Supplier to agree tasks
  • Re-plan project
  • Re-plan project milestones
  • Continue DPIA/EqIA
