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.
