Decision details

The Deputy Leader and Finance and Assets Portfolio Holder, Councillor Andrew Jarvis, presented the Procurement Schedule for 2022/23.  There were 82 procurement projects identified, which was considerably lower than the 135 procurement exercises originally approved for 2021/22.  It was thought that Local Government Reorganisation had focussed the departments on what was important in terms of Business as Usual.

Councillor Jarvis pointed out that the Schedule reflected the amount of work still being carried out by the Council.  He thanked officers for their work and the Procurement Specialist specifically for her report which had also been reviewed by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee and Cabinet and recommended to Council without comment.

Councillor Jarvis moved the recommendation contained within the report and was seconded by Councillor Giles Archibald who recommended that all Councillors review the contents of the Schedule which provided a view of what the Council was doing.

It was unanimously

RESOLVED – That the Procurement Schedule for 2022/23 attached at Appendix 1 to the report be approved.
