Issue - meetings

Committee considered a report in relation to the Council’s Procurement Strategy, which had been updated to take account of all legislative and operational changes to ensure it remained fit for purpose. 

The Procurement Strategy outlined how the procurement of goods, works and services was achieved and described the Council’s Contract Procurement Rules.  These provided a corporate framework for the procurement of all goods, works and services to ensure that all procurement activity was conducted with openness, honesty and accountability.

The policy was to comply with the requirements of the legislation, applicable to local authorities, and these were set out in the report.

In response to a Member’s query, the Assistant Director - Finance & Resources, noted that ‘EU Thresholds’ had to be referred to as in the report due to the UK still being in the transition period of leaving the EU.

Moved by Councillor Peter Roberts and seconded by Councillor Graham Parkin

RECOMMENDED that the Procurement Strategy be recommended to Executive for approval.
