Report by Executive Director – Customer Services

A report setting out the updated Procurement and Commissioning Strategy covering the period 2015-18 was considered.  The Strategy would replace the previous one covering the period 2012-15.

Decision

The Committee –

1.    Approved the Procurement and Commissioning Strategy 2015-18.

2.    Approved the increase in the closed tender threshold for works contracts from £350k to £500k which allows works contracts up to this value to be tendered via a pre-selected list allowing local suppliers the ability to bid for these, which supports the Strategy’s principles.
