(D) IT Division Budget

Work undertaken by the IT Division to understand the current state of the IT infrastructure had identified the need for a significant increase in resources. The IT Division had therefore requested an in-year uplift of £2.8m to enable all commitments to be met and additional work to stabilise infrastructure and lower risk. Such an in-year uplift required the consent of the Court and the proposal was supported by the Finance Committee and members of its IT Sub-Committee, as well as the Policy and Resources Committee.

It was consequently recommended that Members approve an uplift of £2.8m to the IT Division budget in 2016/17.

Resolved – That an uplift of £2.8m to the IT Division budget in 2016/17 be approved.
