The provision of an asset and customer management system is critical to ensuring the County Council can meet its statutory duty to maintain the highways at public expense and to be able to demonstrate that the authority had taken such care as in all the circumstances is reasonably required to comply with that duty.
The current contract is due to end at the end of March 2026 and a new contract is required.
The Cabinet Member for Support Services and Economic Development will be asked to approve the commencement of the procurement process and delegate authority to the Director of Finance and Support Services to award the contract for an asset and customer management system at the conclusion of the procurement process.
