Other options considered and discounted as part of this proposal:
· To not purchase HR & Payroll and Learning Management System Services – this option was discounted as the Council is required to payroll its employees, gratuities and elections officials and train employees to a required standard. A systems approach is deemed the most cost effective and efficient way of achieving this requirement.
· To deliver the Service in-house – this option was discounted as the Council does not possess the skills, experience and technology required to build its own HR & Payroll and Learning Management systems.
