Consideration was given to a Notice of Motion, submitted by Councillor D Brickhill to the Council on 19 July 2012, which had been referred to the Cabinet. The Motion concerned the employment of outside consultants. The report detailed the current approval process required for the appointment of all consultants, along with the framework agreements in place for any such procurement, both of which were considered to be sufficiently rigorous.
RESOLVED
Cabinet considers that the Council already has sufficiently rigorous arrangements in place for the engagement of consultants and will therefore take no further action in response to the Notice of Motion.
