A proposal for the adoption of a new Procurement and Contract Management Strategy.

Cabinet Portfolio Holder – Councillor Peter Butlin

Councillor Peter Butlin (Deputy Leader of the Council) introduced the strategy, which had been validated by external experts and provided the Council with a framework for its third party spend over the next five years.  The strategy was structured around three value pillars, detailed in the report: commercial value, customer value and social Value.  The associated Supplier Statement supported suppliers to understand what the Council was seeking in a supplier, giving them confidence in how to prepare to do business with the Council.
