Decision details

The Sub-Committee considered a report which provided an update on the procurement pipeline for the Council and any contracts to be considered as business as usual, the contracts awarded since April 2022 and other procurement activity.

The detailed waivers referred to in the report would be considered in Part 2 of the meeting.

Members referred to the recent exercise in which a member working group had considered an overview of the procurement process, including a close examination of a number of specific procurements. Members had found this to be a useful exercise and asked that it be repeated for the coming year.
