REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR – RESOURCES

 

To update Cabinet on changes to the Contract Procurement Rules.

Decision:

RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL: That the changes to the Council’s Procurement Rules detailed in this report are adopted.

 

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

 

(1)         The increase in the threshold for single quotes reflects the impact of inflation and that not changing them creates additional work for Officers.

 

(2)         The introduction of geographical and supplier type restrictions gives the opportunity for procurements to be better aligned with policy objectives.
