The council terminated its contract with systems integrator DXC in 2023 after auditors EY flagged weaknesses in budgeting, governance, and risk management. To fund the overrun, the council is selling off public buildings, with capital receipts from asset sales expected to triple to £12 million in 2025/26. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
