Issue - meetings

Council considered a report of the Chair of the Employment and Personnel Committee, which sought agreement for budget increases to fund changes to the Procurement Service, that had been agreed at Employment and Personnel Committee on 3^rd July 2024.

The proposal agreed at the Employment and Personnel Committee was to end the shared Procurement Service with North East Derbyshire District Council and to create a small Bolsover focussed team. The current Procurement Assistant (0.5 FTE) would remain with the Council and a new Procurement Manager (1 FTE) would be recruited.  The proposal had been considered in detail at the Employment and Personnel Committee and it had been recommended to Council to agree the required budget increase of £54,684 to fund the proposals.

The changes would require an increase to the Council’s General Fund budget.

Moved by Councillor Duncan McGregor and seconded by Councillor Sandra Peake

RESOLVED that the growth in salary budgets (General Fund) as recommended by the Employment and Personnel Committee on 3^rd July 2024 be approved.
