The Director of Law, HR and Asset Management recommended a revised procurement process for a payroll and human resource (HR) system to replace the Council’s current systems when the licences expired at the end of May 2011. The current licences were an extension of a contract which expired in May 2008.

A revised, integrated payroll and HR system was expected to generate significant savings and service improvements across the council.

Resolved: - That the Director of Law HR and Asset Management, in consultation with the Director of Finance, be authorised to procure and implement the most appropriate payroll and HR system, taking in to account the issues raised in this report.
