Report of Urgent Action Taken: National Enabling Programmes SoW4

The Court received a report advising of action taken under urgency procedures in relation to the National Enabling Programme (NEP), a transformational IT programme involving all police forces within England and Wales that will modernise technology across all areas. The NEP is entirely funded by the Home Office via the Transformation Fund Grant, with the City Corporation acting as the “Accountable Body” and lead delivery agent.

A number of activities had been undertaken to progress this programme by a contractor as part of a defined Statement of Works. With the next meeting of the Court not for another month, authority was sought and obtained under urgency procedures to release funds to the contractor upon completion of these specified works.

Resolved – That the action taken under urgency procedures be noted.
