The council terminated its contract with systems integrator DXC in 2023 after auditors identified weaknesses in budgeting and governance, having paid DXC £6.6 million—50% over the original contract price. The current £27 million budget may not include pre-May 2024 spending. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
