Decisions
1. That the procurements
and awards of contracts set out in Appendix A to a maximum value of £5m be
approved, and those over £5m would be reported back to Cabinet for detailed
consideration.
2. In giving this approval,
Members are approving known / likely procurement set for implementation during
2019/20 (or as specifically noted otherwise) on terms to be agreed by the
delegated officer, Corporate Director or Portfolio Holder for each arrangement.
3. That procurements
exceeding the key decision threshold which are not yet identified will be
subject to a separate report for approval by the Cabinet, at
a later date.
Reasons
for Decisions
1. Cabinet was required to
approve all key decisions with financial consequences of £500k or more. It was
also good governance to provide Cabinet with a summary of all proposed
procurements prior to them formally commencing.
2. Planning procurements
effectively ensures: effective stakeholder management; efficient sourcing;
compliance with regulations and contract procedure rules; and, best value for
money.
