Rationale for decision

The saving proposal seeks to rationalise and streamline current working processes and ICT contract costs to ensure digital processes are maximised. This will lead to savings in ICT contract costs as we maximise the current ICT systems to full capacity but also potentially reducing manual input. This would be managed alongside current vacancies within the service.
