Notes:

1. The number of Desktop PCs includes devices that will have been replaced by laptops during the pandemic.  These will be rationalised when hybrid working is implemented fully.
2. The implementation of MFDs was intended to rationalise the printing requirements within the Council, and to remove standalone printers.  There are still a few printers in operation, which perform more ‘specialised’ requirements, but these are minimal in number.

2.  

There is a rolling programme to replace devices in accordance with the Council’s asset management policy.  At the moment, there are no specific budgets for the device types above, just an overall budget for the ICT programme.  The approved budget for 2022/23, and indicative budgets for the following two years are included below.

Please give EXPENDITURE planned for:                  
2022/23 - £1,206k       2023/24 - £611k          2024/25 - £579k

3.  The Council constantly develops, reviews and refreshes its software. Information on current contracts and when they end can be found here.
