In accordance with 100B (4)(B) of the Local Government Act 1972 and in accordance with the urgent procedure rules as contained within the Council’s Constitution the following item was considered - Updated Contract Procedure Rules.
REASON FOR DECISION: The Contract Procurement Rules are part of the Constitution (under Section 20) and are revised and updated periodically as part of the Council's governance and procurement review processes.
The Council’s Constitution is being reviewed at the Council Meeting in January, which the Procurement Rules will be incorporated. As there was not another Finance Audit and Risk Committee prior to this meeting the matter was considered as a matter of urgency and was therefore not subject to call in.
