II.1.4) Short description
Wrexham County Borough Council sought bids for an integrated solution to support the authority’s work with Performance, Risk, Project and Programme management.
The solution will support WCBC’s corporate vision to enable staff to work in a more efficient and flexible way through the use of modern and innovative means, enabling them to manage and monitor all aspects of performance (actions, tasks, measures, risks, projects and programmes) all in one place, that enables them all to interlink strengthening our performance and Governance across the Authority.
