To receive a report on the progress of the SLE Programme

Consideration was given to a report which detailed the work being undertaken to deliver a Separate Legal Entity for the ICT and HR and Finance Shared Services. 

Work was underway to move ICT and HR and Financial Shared Services to Shadow SLE mode from 1 October 2013 before becoming a fully fledged company on 1 April 2014.

An overall budget of £645,000 had been allocated and it was anticipated that this would be used to fund the appointment of key personnel including a Managing Director and Communications resource and also for the Oracle build.

An Executive Board had been established to provide robust governance and it membership included the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Shared Services Joint Committee.  An officer Programme Board was up and running under the management of the joint Senior Responsible Owners tasked with managing overall project delivery.  A detailed Programme Plan was being developed to provide a route map to delivering the SLE. 

RESOLVED:

That the progress on the development of the Separate Legal Entity for ICT and HR & Financial Services be noted.
