Decision details

It is resolved that:

(A)      Council approve an exemption from tender in accordance with section 55(3)(i) of the Local Government Act 1993 to enter into a contract with Kronos Australia Pty Limited (ABN: 17 074 408 067) for the transition to the Kronos Software-as-a-Service platform;

(B)      Council note that a satisfactory result would not be achieved by inviting tenders for this work because:

(i)         Kronos is the core workforce management and time and attendance system used by the City;

(ii)         the existing supplier is the proprietary owner of the Kronos Software-as-a-Service product; and

(iii)      the costs associated with transferring to a different supplier and implementing a new product, together with the implications on the day-to-day operations of the City do not support undertaking a competitive tender process; and

(C)      authority be delegated to the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate, finalise, execute and administer (including exercising options, if appropriate) the contract relating to the Kronos' transition to a cloud-based platform and Software-as-a-Service on terms acceptable to the City for the term and total contract sum detailed in Confidential Attachment A to the subject report.

Carried unanimously.
