It was agreed:
(a)
To
begin each of the procurement procedures listed in appendix 1 to the report of
28 February 2023.
(b)
That in
each instance the further step of making any contract award should be delegated
to the relevant Cabinet Portfolio Holder, after consultation with the relevant
Executive Director.
Reason for the decision
Cabinet
is required to approve all key decisions with financial consequences of £500k
or more. It is good governance therefore to provide Cabinet with a summary of
all proposed procurements, that individually are estimated to be total value of
£500k or more, prior to procurement procedures formally commencing.
