2. Report Summary

In June 2015 Cabinet agreed revisions to the Council ICT Strategy including

approval to continue the roll out of the new standard desktop, a key enabler for WorkSmart and a change in scope to the use of the Salesforce Customer Relationship Management (CRM). The desktop rollout remains on target to complete by the end of November 2015. Salesforce CRM remediation work is underway and is on target to complete by December 2015 enabling better functionality for Customer Services use.

In June 2015, Cabinet also noted the ongoing work happening to develop Department ICT Roadmaps for the next three years that reflected the technology requirements of all Council departments to deliver service improvements and financial savings.

This report summarises the Department ICT Roadmaps for the Council

Directorates and outlines the one-off and on-going budget implications to deliver the roadmaps.

The need for Department ICT roadmaps is two-fold. Firstly, it helps the Council to strategically plan its expenditure on ICT investment over a period of time as opposed to reacting to requests as they materialise. Secondly, it provides a holistic view of technical projects required, making sure that there is no duplication and that the interdependencies of the projects are understood and managed appropriately.

The Department ICT Roadmaps combined with a Technology Infrastructure

Page 3: the Council’s Corporate Plan... · Planning Service Installation of software that enables capability for applications to be processed, stored and viewed electronically Implementation

Roadmap (for the common underpinning ICT platform used by all Departments) form the Councils ICT Strategy for the next 3 years.

The Department ICT Roadmaps have been developed in parallel with the Council’s draft Web & Digital Strategy and each are complementary to the other. The links between two have been identified to ensure they dovetail.

The process of developing Department ICT Roadmaps has taken 6 months and included a thorough undertaking to challenge each requirement in terms of the extent it offers value for money and delivers tangible benefits for our residents. This challenge has included scrutiny by the Chief Executive and Executive Directors of their Department ICT Roadmaps. The Department ICT Roadmaps presented in this report are the conclusion of that process and each has been agreed by the senior management team of each department through their Department ICT Boards and Executive Directors.

Department ICT Boards have been established within each Council department to oversee the development and successful implementation of their ICT Roadmap. These Department ICT Boards consist of senior department managers, ICT senior managers and an ICT Programme Manager.

CAS ICT Board* – Chaired by Alan Adams, Exec Director CAS

REDe ICT Board* – Chaired by David Palmer, Head of REDe Business Services

CEX ICT Board – Chaired by John Gladman, Director of ICT *John Gladman, Director of ICT also sits on the CAS and REDe ICT Boards to support the Chair, ensure each Department ICT Roadmap is joined up, common priorities are identified and a consistent approach is taken.

Changes to these Department ICT Roadmaps will happen from time to time as a result of changes to business priorities and will be formally recorded and approved by each Department ICT Board. The progress of each Department ICT Roadmap will be reported by the responsible ICT Programme Manager at each Department ICT Board Meeting as well as quarterly to CLT and the Lead Cabinet Member.

Department ICT Roadmaps link to service and saving plans and will enable the Council in delivering a range of business needs including:

Statutory or mandatory Council services, i.e. Projects to help the Council fulfil requirements to meet the Care Act 2014

Essential upgrades to ensure Council service continuity, i.e. hardware and software are at vendor supported versions

Service improvements, i.e. Essential service improvements to our Housing services

Financial savings, i.e. Customer Services savings by enabling improvements to processes that cut across Departments and are co-ordinated by the CEX Department

Page 4: the Council’s Corporate Plan... · Planning Service Installation of software that enables capability for applications to be processed, stored and viewed electronically Implementation

Details of each Department ICT Roadmap are shown in Appendix A.

Department ICT Roadmaps enable the delivery of savings in combination with restructuring, automation and new ways of working to enable Departments to achieve their savings targets.

A Technology Infrastructure ICT Roadmap is shown separately to Department ICT Roadmaps because it provides a common underpinning ICT platform used by all Departments including networks, servers, desktop computing, email, phones, web services, hosting, security, mobile, etc.

3. Reason for Decision and Options Considered 3.1 ICT and Department Senior Management Teams have completed an in-depth

piece of work over the past 6 months to develop a roadmap of ICT projects for the next three years that are required in order to meet service improvements and financial saving targets across the Council during this period.

3.2 Each Department has its own ICT Roadmap, of which the detail can be seen in

Appendix A. The tables below set out the priorities of each Department ICT Roadmap. The cost of these roadmaps are shown in section 5 of this report.

3.3 Options considered and recommended option

Option Comments

Option ONE: (RECOMMENDED) Approve the one-off budget required to deliver the Department ICT Roadmaps 2015-2018 and a change to the ICT Service on-going budget to allow software licence, maintenance and support of systems be correctly accounted for. Quarterly progress reports to CLT and the Lead Cabinet Member as part of the governance of delivering the ICT Roadmaps. Option TWO: (NOT RECOMMENDED) Do nothing and have no one-off budget available for delivery of Departments ICT Roadmaps. React to requests as they materialise. Option THREE: (NOT RECOMMENDED) Approve the one-off budget required to deliver the Department ICT Roadmaps in 2015/16 only at this stage. Quarterly update reports on progress to be reported to CLT and the Lead Cabinet Member as part of the governance of delivering the Department ICT Roadmaps. 2016/17 Budget to be reviewed for approval prior to April 2016.

This option will allow the Council to plan long-term. ICT projects will often run across financial years and a commitment to a 3 year plan will help the Council leverage the best value from suppliers and resource projects with more fixed term contracts as opposed to higher cost agency/contract fees. Projects that are required to meet department service improvement and saving plans may not be achieved due to lack of available budget the required time. Having an annual approval of funding makes longer term planning of ICT projects more challenging.

b) Comments of the Director, Finance and Corporate Services

This report proposes significant investment in the Council’s ICT based business systems and supporting infrastructure. The costs of the proposed projects in the roadmaps at Appendix A have been estimated by the Interim Director of ICT as £6.4M over a three year period. The Chief Executive’s Roadmap includes the following projects that are enablers for the delivery of the Tranche 1 savings for Corporate Services and Customer Relations approved in November 2014:

Salesforce Development

CTI Telephony Integration

Reconfiguration of the Telephone system

Agresso Upgrade

Agresso Finance systems enhancements and automation

OHMS invoice payment

OHMS and Agresso interface The 2015/16 revenue budget set aside funds in reserves for investment in systems and processes that enable the delivery of savings. It is proposed to allocate £420,000 of investment monies to the delivery of the Chief Executive Directorate’s Roadmap:

£200,000 towards the cost of the delivery of the projects listed under Customer Relations in Appendix A.

£220,000 towards the cost of the delivery of four of the projects listed under Strategic Finance in Appendix A.

These projects should enable the delivery of the Tranche 1 savings through increased automation and enhancements to the telephone system that enables efficiencies in call handling. The projects listed under the Intelligence Hub in the Chief Executive Directorate’s Roadmap can be funded from monies aside for the development of the Intelligence Hub in the Commissioning Reserve. £840,000 of the projected costs of the Housing Roadmap enable the delivery of services funded by the Housing Revenue Account (HRA). These costs will need to be financed by the HRA. £1.76M of the projected costs of the Children’s and Adults Roadmap can be financed by

Better Care Fund grant (£300,000)

Care Act grant (£260,000)

IT Reserves held for investment in social care IT systems (£1.2M) The table below shows the one off costs of the ICT Roadmaps that need to be funded through the Medium Term Financial Strategy over the period 2015/16 to 2017/18.

Care Act grant 260 - - 260

ICT Reserves (CAS) 438 762 - 1,200

Balance to be financed 804 1,643 749 3,196

The costs set out in the table above are in line with the estimates included in the Medium Term Financial Strategy approved in September 2015 for the implementation of the ICT Strategy. Some of the costs of implementing the Departmental Roadmaps will be capital expenditure (depending on the type of software and services that are purchased) that will need to be funded from borrowing and other costs will be revenue expenditure. If these projects are progressed they will have a significant impact on the Council’s revenue budget over the medium term. This impact is in addition to the pressure on the ICT revenue budget arising from savings of £600K expected from the ICT Strategy approved in July 2012 not being delivered. The projected additional revenue costs of the delivery of the Departmental Roadmaps are shown in the table in paragraph 5a. These total £1.3M assuming the HRA funds the additional running costs of the systems used to deliver HRA funded services. The revenue costs arising from the implementation of this Strategy will need to be funded through the delivery of additional savings in future year’s revenue budgets through the period of the Medium Term Financial Strategy. The costs of the roadmaps set out in this report are significant in the context of the constrained financial position facing the Council. The procurement of each element of the roadmap will provide clarity as to the costs of the project. It is recommended that the governance arrangements for the management of the delivery of the Roadmaps include a review of the business case for each project following the completion of the procurement exercise to include re assessments of:

The capital and revenue costs of delivering the project

The financial savings that the project is expected to enable i.e. does it enable delivery approved budget savings

Whether in light of revised estimates of costs and benefits it is considered to be cost effective to continue the project.

It is recommended that a revised business case be agreed by the relevant Director and Departmental IT Board for each project before contracts are awarded.

6. Legal Details/Comments of the Head of Governance

6.1 The conditions of grant relating to the Care Act Grant and the Better Care Fund Grant should be carefully checked to ensure use for the purposes set out in the report is not restricted in any way.

6.2 The Housing Revenue Account (HRA) as a “ring fenced” account may only be

used to fund expenditure associated with the management and maintenance of the Council’s housing stock. Provided all work associated with the Housing Roadmap is to support the management and maintenance of the Council’s housing stock the HRA reserves may be utilised as set out in this report.

6.3 Any tendering process will need to be carried out in accordance with EU and UK statutory requirements and will be governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2015 which requires a minimum standstill period between the point when the contract award decisions are notified to bidders and signing the contracts. In addition the Council is required to consider social value as required by the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2002 to ensure goods, services, works and utilities are commissioned in a way that achieves value for money on a whole life basis in terms of generating benefits to society and the economy, whilst minimizing damage to the environment.

6.4 If the recommendations are agreed the Council should conduct any procurement in an open, fair and transparent manner, with full advertising of the requirements and compliance with the Contract Procedure Rules and Financial Regulations. Those responsible for conducting this process will need to ensure that the Council obtains the services it requires from the bidders who submit the most economically advantageous tenders and which balance technical and quality requirements against commercial elements to deliver a service that offers best value for money

6.5 It is confirmed that Cabinet may delegate the authority as set out in recommendation 1.2 under section 9E of the Local Government Act 2000 as amended.

7. Value For Money 7.1 Each Department ICT Board and Executive Director has evaluated their

Department ICT Roadmap in the format of a “star chamber” with each of their Directors. Where projects on Department ICT Roadmaps have been identified as non-essential, nice to have, not contributing enough to financial savings or service improvement targets to that make the investment worthwhile, the project has been dropped.

7.2 Each Department ICT Boards will continue to monitor the business case and

expected Return on Investment (ROI) of each project on their Department ICT Roadmap. The Department ICT Boards will halt any projects where there is evidence that undertaking the project will no longer bring value for money for the Council.

7.3 The ICT Service plan includes the Council’s involvement in the annual

SOCITM (Society of IT Managers) pan-London benchmarking of the Council’s ICT services in spring 2016 to ensure Value for Money is being achieved.

Page 12: the Council’s Corporate Plan... · Planning Service Installation of software that enables capability for applications to be processed, stored and viewed electronically Implementation

8. Sustainability Impact Appraisal 8.1 The continued delivery of a ‘cloud first’ technology strategy which underpins

many of the solutions in Department ICT Roadmaps will contribute to the reduction of energy use and physical space requirements of the Council.

9. Risk Management 9.1 The following table sets out the key risks and related controls.

10. Links to Council Priorities 10.1 The delivery of the ICT strategy makes a significant contribution to enabling

and supporting the Council’s corporate plan in the following areas:

Improving customer service, experience and choice

Making savings and efficiencies

Enabling partnership working

Better informed decision making

Enabling the WorkSmart programme to deliver flexible working

Supporting our staff and members to work effectively 11. Equalities, Human Rights and Community Cohesion 11.1 The Council has to give due regard to its Equalities Duties, in particular with

respect to general duties arising pursuant to the Equality Act 2010, section 149. Having due regard to the need to advance equality involves, in particular, to the need to remove or minimize disadvantages suffered by persons who share a relevant characteristic that are connected to that characteristic.

11.2 The Council has considered the relevance of the proposal to the provisions of

the Equality Act 2010 and the Human Rights Act 1998 and concluded that Equalities Duties and the Human Rights Articles are not engaged by this proposal. As the report does not have any significant bearing on the substantive equality duty it is not considered necessary to undertake an Equality analysis.

12. Staffing/Workforce and Accommodation implications: 12.1 The recommended options support the Council’s WorkSmart Programme and

ambition to move to a new smaller Civic Centre. 13. Property and Assets 13.1 The recommended options improves the Council’s ICT estate, reducing less

downtime from performance issues and providing the business with the latest functionality available.

14. Any Other Implications 14.1 The recommended options support the Council’s targets for financial savings

through the Medium Term Financial Strategy and the continuous improvement of customer services through better use of technology and smarter working.

15. Consultation 15.1 Throughout the 6 month development of Department ICT Roadmaps key

officers from across the Council have been consulted with as well as the Lead Cabinet Member. Department ICT Boards have been set up to co-ordinate the development and successful delivery of ICT Roadmaps for all Departments.
