committee management system that we use.*
The current supplier has successfully delivered the contract in
line with the contract requirements and is meeting all of their
contractual obligations.
It is difficult to know what the new “normal” will be
going forward due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Home working set to
continue for the majority of Authority staff for the foreseeable
future.
Brexit may also have an impact on any future arrangements with the
UK’s transition period coming to an end at the end of this
year.
The utilisation of the available contract extension will allow the
Authority sufficient time to establish its future
requirements.
