Purpose
There is a contract with CIC Capita (Business Service Limited)for the value of £1.72m which expires in March 2026, BCC have exceeded the contract value and require the funds to be increased within this contract in order for the invoices to paid during this period whilst CIC Capita continue to provide a critical service to prints Housing/Council Tax/Benefits/Business rates and invoices for the residents of Birmingham; therefore, this would be detrimental for our services. As we work to exit this service, we require to extend the services with CIC Capita for another 12 months either a PPAR or a direct award for which I will submit another Strategy Report for consideration. The current contract value has been exceeded due to a number of dependencies such as departments requesting change requests, increase in print demand, project management fees as well as courier costs.
