CP1123-15 Committee Management System

Description

Devon County Council currently uses its own system to create and publish Committee minutes and agendas, which when made public can be accessed via the Council's website. The Council is looking to replace the existing system and is seeking quotations from suitably qualified and experienced companies to provide and maintain such a system. The purpose of this is to improve the effectiveness of committee meeting management and to facilitate remote access/working by elected members and officers and, potentially, laptop or tablet based access to papers for meetings. The Council also aims to improve the accessibility of information to partners and partner organisations, promoting a further transparency of the decision making process. The system will allow a more effective use of resources, by reducing the volume of print documentation, streamlining administrative processes, whilst also ensuring the integrity and security of Council information. To help achieve these objectives the Council is keen to procure relevant software to facilitate the committee administration/management process.
