This report, attached marked 12, sets outs proposals and recommendations to enter into negotiations with Shropshire Council to review options to enter into a shared services arrangement to secure improvements to the Service's Information and Communications Technology (ICT) infrastructure. The shared services arrangement, if approved at a later date, will make effective use of the proposed ICT reserve to support migration to the Council's new wide area network to underpin the Service's ICT Strategy for the next 3 to 5 year period.
Please note that this report should be considered in conjunction with exempt report 15a.
